Boy howdy, do I believe in miracles!  They happen here every single day!

I have seen and experienced  more miraculous events in the last few months than in my entire life...and folks, miracles do happen.

A couple of miracles happened in my personal life...I’m still here working on The Family Tree.  Mel - minus a few toes - is still here to supervise happenings at New Elm, Georgia.  We both thank everyone for their continuing thoughts and prayers, cards and letters!  This getting older is really not as easy as we are told when we are young!

Many miracles have occurred at The Family Tree too!

The Stone Mountain Highland Games sent us an unbelievably generous check.  I cannot begin to express my appreciation to Gerald Larkey and the Stone Mountain Highland Games Board of Directors for the many kindnesses shown over the years and for their generous financial support as well.  Thank you!

Our wonderful friends, Roscoe & Elizabeth McDonald of Milledgeville, Georgia sent along an amazing contribution as they have done for every single year of the life of this paper.  Thank you is not adequate.
