March 1, 2009 thru
April 30, 2009
I had a great visit to
Allamakee county at the end of March, but have
decided that isn't a very good time to visit if you
want to spend much time outdoors .... a hug and a thank-you  to each of
our generous contributors.
- A big
thank you goes to you all for the work
done on the site.... Bob
- ...you're
doing a splendid job by the way, and if
it wasn't for the [Allamakee co.] web
site we would never have known that any
of our family had emigrated to America,
which we also think is great.... Martin
