Carolyn,

I'm one of your '98'ers and Evelyn Bender and I have been doing lots of dog
and pony shows with great success.

The success is always greatest, however, when we can drag some of our kids
to tell the listeners how much they learned about their families and have
actually gotten closer to them in the process of doing the oral histories.

We'll be adding about 55 new ones this year to the 28 we did last.
