Email; 6/07/2009 lawrenceperna@att.net;
Hi Jay, In going through some of my late mothers things, I came across a 2003 letter from you to her regarding your genealogy efforts. I was wondering if you still were pursuing this project and if so how your efforts were going. I knew of your correspondence with my mother Jeane, but the last two years of her life were difficult for her to say the least and I did not have your email until I finally went through some papers that I had boxed up after her death and now over three years later am finally going through.
Also, I wanted to ask you if you had, during your research, uncovered any information about my grandfather, Merlin Davies and his family. I know of some information that my mom and Aunt Maxine passed down, but would like to know if there is anything more substantial out there as he and I were very close until his death.
Thank you for your time, look forward to hearing from you,
Larry Perna
