About 3 weeks ago I got a request from Stephanie Aude, the Local History and Genealogy librarian at the Andover Public Library, to use a map I had drawn (in 1976) of the world around me when I was 10-11-12 (1953-1956) and lived in Shawsheen, a village that is part of Andover. In short order I volunteered to talk to the genealogy resources group at the Library, and the Event took place on April 10th… and was a grand success from my point of view. http:\/\/oook.info\/etc\/Andover.html<\/b><\/a> has the materials I prepared for the presentation (along with links to various other bits I had gathered and shown and talked about<\/a>). To my great surprise and pleasure one of the participants (Alice Mooney, as she then was) was a classmate from the Grade 6 class picture. Small world, as they say.<\/p>\n

\nAlong the way I revisited material Broot and I had gathered for a project we did on our own families<\/a> in 2001, and was pleased with its eloquence.<\/p>\n

\nAs seems to have become routine, I’ve set up pages to gather links to revisit from April incoming<\/a>, YouTube videos of particular salience<\/a>, and videos specific to the current contretemps<\/a> with Canada. And now I’ll get back to work on the Lexicon project<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
