Letter: CM helps connect cousins after 40 years, one reports

Thank you so much for helping me get in touch with a cousin (Jim Allison) I have not had contact with for over 40 years.

Thanks for your magazine, which does much more than bring current news and events, it brings people together who did not know they had anything in common. Thank you!

s/Brenda Dreyer
The thanks is all to you, Brenda Dreyer and Jim Allison. Thank you both for sending us the news about John Ely Pike and for helping us with the Adair County Veterans List Project

A Christmas miracle: Tracker is home again!

PHOTO
Ed and Linda,

I wanted to let you know that Christmas miracles really do happen.

After many prayers, Tracker, our bassett hound mix came home this morning a little after 11o'clock! He just showed up at the back door in apparently good shape too. Someone had taken his lead chain off but left his collar.
