After forty plus years as a genie and never askin nary a dime, spending
thousands of
bucks, not to speak of time and travel, I feel the LDS and others have
betrayed me.  I
have seen my work represented as others, and the only saving grace is that
their job of copying and spelling was so bad...
And the haughty LDS hierarchy, now peddlin' the Pedigree Resource File...oh,
well, I
am preachin' to the choir.  Then the seedy Ancestry.com, et al.----
As I wrap up these many years of conscientious research, I shall not lose
sight of the many who've helped me, and will deposit my work at places like UVA,
and others, and I shan't exit with a sour gizzard.
But, I don't like liars, and I don't like cheaters in a poker game.  Folks,
you all know what I mean.  Darn it, fair is fair...Cheers, don't EVER give up.
