<DIV><SPAN class=010254103-15062004>I guess you're right, Walt, I was thinking
the James gang was only around a few years, but I just went and their list of
victims goes back to 1867 which means if her Uncle was a drummer boy he could
have still been a minor when the gang started their activity, I found an
interesting site on the James Gang;</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=010254103-15062004>they seem to be trying to preserve the
image of the James Gang as America's Robin Hood. I think I will drop them a
line and see if they know anything about my great aunt who "supposedly" always
had a lot of money after they or some gang, family rumor not too specific,
came through town. It would sure be a lark if they did.</SPAN></DIV>
