I find so little time right now to work on my genealogy. Sometimes it seems like months go by without a chance to do any online research. And forget going to Clayton Library – I haven’t had a free afternoon to do that in a couple of years. But tonight I was looking at a […]

Posted June 2nd 2015 by sbuntynIt’s always a struggle living paycheck-to-paycheck. If you do the same, you know what I’m talking about.

In memoriam: Shirley Mae (Starcher) White
Posted June 2nd 2015 by sbuntynWe got the news today that Shirley Mae (Starcher) White passed away today, during a nap from which she did not wake. Shirley was my mother-in-law for the past 25 years.
