<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was unaware that the year they came to Oregon
mattered. What matters is that they came, survived and in spite of the look on
the faces of those having their pictures taken, I am sure they laughed, joked
and had fun. I, for one, appreciate the stories even if they don't mention MY
family because it gives me a better glimpse of how my family probably lived. If
I find a story uninteresting I find the delete button very easily. Keep up the
anecdotes for all of us "lurkers", someday I will have found enough information
to be able to pass on anecdotes, as well.</FONT></DIV>
