Oh, yes! In the heat of posting before running off to my first night at the new job, I forgot to say Tom and I will definitely be at Barry's on the 18th. Looking forward to meeting some of you in the flesh. (Ah, let's rephrase that, maybe "face to face.")

Hey Catspaw! You remembered! Stopped at Plains Cemetery in Kingston, NH a couple weeks ago on my way home from the orientation morning at the new job. hadn't been in it for about 15 years. Couldn't find the markers I was looking for. Went to a Maine Old Cemeteries Assn. meeting in Alfred, ME two weeks ago -- my old stomping grounds. And the house is in such a state I couldn't find my rubbing gear -- just the rice paper and one odd block of wax. Fortunately (fortunately??) I didn't need them. Really need to catalog my research one of these days if I ever have time.
