Where has time gone? It is time once again to subscribe to the newsletter if you want to continue its receipt. Due to increases in postage rates, and a better accounting of actual publishing costs, I need to increase the cost of a subscription to $8 per year. Please remit by 1 Dec 02 for the calendar year 2003, commencing with the Jan 03 issue. I really hate to announce this increase, but it’s the only way we can continue. Reminder: The newsletter may be accessed for free on the web site in addition to other resources published there. Feedback: “I always look forward to receiving the newsletter and I really appreciate all the time and effort you and Linda go to. Thank you so much for bringing back good memories for me. Love Babe” (Margaret Ward).

Next issue we will feature Fred and Clara Cain. We need your help, so if you are a descendant of Fred and Clara, or if you just knew their family we’d love to have an article from you. Deadline for hard copy: 15 Nov 02, E-mail or other electronic media 1 Dec 02. Also if you have memories of the Cain Family Life at Haynesville, LA Oil Field area we’d love to have an article about those times. The same deadlines apply.
