Dear Paul,
It is a long story but I'll cut it as much as I can. I keep my genealogical records in my big walk-in closet in Tulsa and after you called me I decided you had seen closets before so I got busy and reorganized everything. My work in genealogy is off and on due to George's health and things get out of place when I put them away in a hurry.
George has been in the hospital twice since I have been in touch with you. First he fell and fractured a hip and after that healed he had new back pains and they were from two ruptured disks. We intended to come to Naples Oct. 29 but got here

November 27.
In Tulsa we had a 1 bedroom and a 2 bedroom apartment put together. Since we have changed our residence to Florida and spend more time here our next door neighbors wanted our small apartment to add to their 2 bedroom. We finally decided to let them have it. I never got into such a mess in my life - running to the hospital twice a day and moving all George's things into my walk-in closet.
I had the old records xeroxed so that I can at least show you the copies. Hope we can get together after the holidays, Let me know a couple of times when you might come and we'll see which works best. I'll have my daughter send more records down which I think would interest you.
Don't give up on me. Have a good Christmas and I'll look forward to seeing you after that.
{Bette}
