<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>How is the weather in Cottage Grove, it is turning white here in East Portland and it is not snow, glad both my vehicles are 4x4.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>My Cross's are also from the midwest Iowa down through Nebraska and my wife has Cross's in her family from the same part of the country, have not put the two together, YET.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>They are all listed on my website for my family, or I should say the most of them.</FONT></DIV>

It will be really mind boggling if I can link those <BR>> Crosses, my mother's Melvin ancsestors and Glen's Cottage Grove Cross <BR>> connection [Oh Lord, forgive us our puns this sabbath, please!] as my father <BR>> and I grew up in Cottage Grove. <BR>> <BR>> I should be buried in autocad laying out parking islands instead fo in her <BR>> doing this, but had my son updating some stuff on the new computer so I <BR>> could do some email associated with work.
