[or-roots] Happy Holidays

[Carol Peterson]

Dearest Layne, aka List Mom.

You have been a wonderful presence and supporter for all these years. I’ll miss you and the knowledge you offer so freely.

Enjoy your retirement. Maybe you can be a free-lance genealogist! 

May your holidays be bright and your future even brighter!

And THANK YOU! You’ll be missed!

Carol

I have been with the Archives for 34 years and have loved working with the staff and researchers over these many years.  Much has changed in that time but I know that the commitment to preserving and making information from our holdings available will continue to be a priority.
