Hi Karl Welcome aboard! Your intro is fine - if fact it's good to know that there are real people on the other end of these electronic messages. My wife and I live in Western NY, right on the Monroe-Livingston County line. We belong to several historical societys in the area and find all parts of local history fascinating. Again, welcome!
