Sorry for the hiatus!
Yeah, it's been almost a month since my last post. Just can't get the hang of this daily blog thing yet.
My wife Sheila just got back from a long weekend in Ohio where she hooked up with some family and friends and toured the Lady Di exhibit in Dayton. Apparently if you're a Lady Di fan it was wonderful (the wedding gown, some of the Spencer family jewelry, many of Diana's dresses). Our daughter, Allison, was up in Toronto at the same time attending a competition for her chamber orchestra (they won!). My son, Peter, and I enjoyed a bachelor weekend which was fun.
Another distant cousin, Michael Geldard, sent me an email expressing interest in the genealogy site. We're both descendents of the Poetess of the Forest of Dean, Catherine Drew. Big news on that front -- I want to reset her book of poetry as a keepsake and Marie Sims was nice enough to send me a Xerox of her copy of the book which, unfortunately, was missing two pages. Thanks to the Glouchestershire Library, I just received a copy of the missing two pages in the mail today so I can go ahead with my project (just need some time to set the type). Still deciding how to approach this -- half the book is a list of names of the sponsors who paid for the publication. Do I reset all that or just the poetry section? I suppose for historical purposes I should do the subscription section as well.
That's it for one night. Hopefully it won't be as long between posts.
