I connected with a family cousin that we had lost track of for fifty years
by way of a genealogy site in Scotland.  I'm in California, she's in Texas
and grandparents family from Western Maryland by way of Scotland.  My aunts
were just thrilled to find her again and she was thrilled to find us

I'm so sorry to hear that, Jill.  But it is great that you were able to
have some contact with him before he crossed over.

When I was first on the Internet as we know it today, I was searching
(wasn't on Google at this point in time; I think Alta Vista was the
search engine of choice then) for something or other, and ran across a
friend from grade school through high school, Don Crabb.  We e-mailed,
and he gave me his phone number, but money was so tight, I couldn't
justify making a long-distance call.  And the next thing I knew, he had
died :-(  I'll always regret not calling him.  He was a cat person, too.

who also had no idea that Don was known as a "Mac Master" and was a
friend of Roger Ebert!
