Hi Paul,
This is Lynne McPhail's older sister Shannon. I'm with our mother Lorraine as I write, and she is excited to hear that Wanda may still be alive. Is that still the case? I've heard about Wanda for many years. She made a big impression on her younger cousin Lorraine Howard!

Mom is 87, lives in a suburb of Jacksonville, Fl called Fleming Island, and is as active as ever. She just returned from a weekend in Jamaica with Jennifer, the youngest of her five children (I'm the oldest). If you could send info about Wanda and a way to contact her, we would be so appreciative.

I've just gotten into ancestry.com, which is how I discovered you.

By the way, Mom says the older man in the photo you posted of Leon and 3 of his 4 daughters is Mr. Pierson, a neighbor of theirs in Warren, Ohio. From L to R, the children are Janet, Lorraine and Suzanne. They are all alive - Janet in Plano and Suzanne in Naples. The youngest, Mary Lou, was not born when the photo was taken. She and her husband live in Vermont near their son and daughter. Lorraine, Suzanne and Janet are widows.

Hope to hear from you. Thanks for all the work you've done on ancestry!
