[or-roots] A Giant Thank You everybody

[Sue Steward]

As all the responses were coming through I was thinking that I would like to
sic these people on some of my brick wall problems but unfortunately they
are not Pacific Northwest.  It was amazing to watch it all come together.

You might get the social security application on one of the boys and find
out the maiden name of their mother.
