It’s time to say “good bye…”
… after providing genealogy and research supplies to family historians for twenty-four years. You’ve taken classes from us, gone on research trips with us to the College of William & Mary’s Swem Library, the Library of Virginia, Washington D.C.’s Library of Congress, National Archives, and D.A.R. Library, and Salt Lake City’s Family History Library (that’s what it was called then).
Over the years, the newsletters covered topics from Holiday traditions to school records, the multitudes of tax records available, burial traditions and cemeteries, and Laundry Mondays. And I have to thank my graphic artist/webmaster/newsletter editor, Kathy Kunsman, who kept us on the straight and narrow for the past 10 years. She is up in Bethlehem, PA, but the distance was never a problem. Couldn’t have done it without you, Kathy.
We shipped supplies to you all over VA, but also in in Anchorage, AK, Hollywood, MD, Lima, OH, Eagle Lake, TX, Knoxville, TN, Belle Plaine, MN, Elba, NY, Mendocino, CA, Canton, GA, Rock Hill, SC, Johnston, IA, Scottsdale, AZ, Asheville, NC, Levittown, PA, Blue Springs, MO, Tallahassee, FL, Plymouth, MI, Berlin, NJ….
Will we miss you? You bet. Spring and Fall was “travel time” – every weekend we packed up the SUV and headed to wherever the genealogists were gathering. We’ve met you at conferences from Bucks County, PA, to Gastonia, NC, and from Charleston, WV, to Virginia Beach, VA. They were like family reunions, seeing old friends year after year. If we were lucky, you belonged to several societies, and we’d see you several times a year. Will we miss you? You bet….
