for those out there that keep the records straight we need
to write so contact me please at home PO Box 98777 , Des Moines , WA
98198 and any others that would like to keep the
ink flowing . I do check the libary net every once in awhile but there
is nothing like getting a good old fashion letter in the mail
every now and then . All net surfers need to see that part of history
is falling away too!! So pull out the pen and write . thanks
Your Cousin , Nora Mae Smith

I am Gladys Bigelow's daughter and been trying to get some one
to write me back the real way but no
luck seems that all have went one way or another.

Bagley Lord of Bagley Hall (1) I have lost all that Mom had on her
when my older half brother placed her
into the home to live and she then went into the nursing home. I hope
it is in storage where I can get at
it I have not tried that yet cross my fingers.
I have (18) and (19) to add to the rolls of the family lines
so whom can help me with this? I am strong
believer that we should keep our line together we have done a good
job so far why should we stop now
that we all have these boxes at home or our cable out let on TV. I
would also like information on any
upcoming family reunion.
You can get at me thru email at Littlebritcminis@AOL.COM
