Note: I loved Ruth and Harold.  She had been doing genealogy for awhile before I began in early 1969 and he jumped right in and had a blast with us in 1978.  They'd not drive to Ft. Wayne to the library but I did until in my 60s so I'd take them (and a few other older folks) - we always had so much fun and we'd take rides out in the country and they'd point out places and tell me MoCo stories - sure wish I'd have been smart enough to tape 'em.  Loved these two sweeties! - kbz
