Linda Hilburn originated
the concept for this newsletter. The newsletter’s purpose is manifold, but the
main objective is to foster closer contact amongst the family and to capture
Cain family history, so that once our more senior family members’ memories have
faded, the rest can still reminisce and enjoy their heritage. Secondarily Linda
thought it a good idea to provide a forum for sharing other family events of
interest, and any other mutual areas of interest such as recipes, etc.
In short this newsletter, especially this first edition
is a point of departure and very much a work in-progress. Many of you have
expressed great interest and support already; that is certainly good feedback to
have even before this first edition “hit the streets”.
To make this effort truly successful though, we need
your help. We welcome any comments or suggestions for improvement. NO PRIDE OF
AUTHORSHIP here!
It is Linda’s hope to publish at least quarterly. Your
contributions would help make that goal attainable.
