Hi Ya'll!
I hope you're all well & happy and not too cold!
Thank you to all of you who wrote such kind emails to me when you learned that we'd all been so sick here - your good wishes worked and The Crud is almost completely gone now.
I owe you all an apology for sending out the newsletter last time with a bad link to the Names pages! I'm so sorry about that! I usually try to double-check those things but my brain was full of goo!
Any names that haven't yet been added to the Index of Names on the website will eventually be added, and they'll appear in the very next Updates newsletter, too.
For those of you who are new subscribers, this portion of The Olden Times is not indexed by the FreeFind search engine's spider, so you have the advantage of the updates and the bimonthly index of locations only if you're a subscriber.
For whatever that's worth. Hey - at least it's free!
Back issues may be found here.
Folks are making connections!
Be sure to visit the Connections pages! I'll be adding some new "Connections" this week!
There isn't a link yet from the main part of the site, but you can see the beginning of this new section on the Connections pages.
I have so many more Connections stories to add, and I wish I could get caught up, but...
I'm still behind, as always, in getting everything online, but I'll keep working at it, so if you don't see something that you've sent to me, please be patient with me and keep watching...
Enter this drawing for a chance to win some free books! The University of North Carolina Press is giving away books, and the next drawing is March 15, 2002.
Speaking of books, please drop by the Bookstore, even if you just want to "window shop!"
Thank you so much to those of you who've purchased books from or sponsors through the Bookstore, because your purchase helps make this site possible!
Please stay safe, and remember those glorious words, e pluribus unum.
Out of many, one.
As always, thanks for your patience, and thanks for visiting.
Barbara
