Hello
My name is Karen Caskey Leiber. I am new to the Sinclair list. I have been
just reading and learning.
I have been corresponding with Jean Grigsby in May. At that time she told me
she was preparing for a research trip and would be back the middle of June.
I may get the chance to visit with her in July if we go to a wedding in the
town she lives in.
Karen
