Some I have found, some are still missing. Therefore this page exists so they can find ME if they want to. Just don't expect the same old thing...

This post is intended to help people searching for genealogical information, class mates, etc. Although covering a lot of ground a lot of years in a short space, it may not be as informative as one might wish. It is by no means complete. That is why a contact link is provided. ...This page also speaks of a former life. The body may still be here but the name and the former life are gone. How things have changed... will be left to your imagination.
