<DIV>Sue,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My Grandfather Eugene Edgar Melvin lived in south Coos Bay,
Oregon. I believe him and his wife and a daughter (Doris &
Charles Ross) lived in the Coos Bay area and Son (John Melvin) who lived
in the North Bend area from 1948 till about 1977.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As a child I reminder my grandfather donating 10 gallons of blood.
He was retired and did some painting plus sharpting saws.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any information you might have or any suggestion as to what or where I
might go for more information would be greatly appreciated.</DIV>
