*** WHEN SENDING EDITS CLICK ON ADD NOTE AND ENTER THE SOURCE OF THE REQUESTED EDITS ***
*** ALL EDITS MUST BE SUGGESTED BY CLICKING ON "SUGGEST EDITS" WHILE ON THE MEMORIAL PAGE - Do not request an edit by messaging me on my profile page
** If I have mistakenly created a duplicate memorial, to report it, please use the "suggest edits" button on the memorial page and then "suggest other corrections" at the bottom of that page. In the message section, let me know the memorial# it is a duplicate of and I'll take care of it. That way I'll have all of the information I need. Thanks! **

I have been researching my genealogy for 40+ years & never tire of it! I enjoy photography, reading (actual books, not electronic!), & local history as well as U.S. history. My favorite "job" was working for Stephen Ambrose in Helena MT. I loved the research and transcribing oral histories of WWII Veterans. It definitely didn't seem like work to me. Looking forward to retirement, if I am fortunate enough to afford it, or don't die first!

I am a photo volunteer. I do my best to take several photos &, if there are others nearby with the same surname, I will photograph those also.

I'm not a stickler for the guidelines (except for copyright issues, see below!). I believe the memorials should belong to family, no matter the distance, and friends. If you request a transfer, please include your relationship.

You may use my photos for PRIVATE USE. Please do NOT copy & save them to put them on the Internet. If you want to share it on the Internet, just copy & paste the link to the photo that will direct folks to the photo on FindAGrave. Please respect that. If you want to post it on a tree on Ancestry.com, you can directly link the photo through their website.

Thanks & happy hunting!
