This is the New York bunch, taken in December at the Salt Lake Christmas Tour. Carol, Agnes, Lauri, Jerry, Dana, and Lisa Alzo are New York residents and they welcomed Thomas MacEntee since he was born in New York. Besides, Jerry didn’t want to be the only red rose in this bouquet of blue-shirted roses!
Additional highlights from the tour: Carol P. found she and Linda P. were cousins! Agnes H., with Kevan Hansen’s help, got back to the 14th century in Dutch records (and Sandi B. helped her read them); CoraAnne F. found that she and Loni Gardner (one of our helpers) both have Swiss ancestors living in the 1700s in the Mt.Airy, North Carolina, area; Janet D. says she must be a cousin to Leland as there is a common surname in a very tiny little German town; Sandi B. shared the story of going to a cemetery to photo a family tombstone and when she turned around there were the two tombstones that she’d gone there to photograph some eight years ago!
Wouldn’t YOU like to join our Salt Lake Christmas Tour “family” in 2013? I know, I know, it’s the question of money mostly, right? Here is a tip to making it happen. Take an large empty plastic peanut butter jar and cut a small slot in the lid. Then glue the lid on the jar. You do this so you cannot cheat and take money out! Then every week you fold up a $20.00 bill and stick it into the jar. By next fall you’ll almost have enough…….. and then you tell your family and friends that you don’t want anything for your birthday or Christmas except help to do what you really want to do: Join the Salt Lake Christmas Tour Family !!! Think so??
