Dee, you are a WAR EAGLE
extraordinaire with that kind of history!!! As I mentioned one of my first
cousins lives in Dothan and I think his sister, Laura lives in Auburn. I don't know what her married names
is but she was a McLeod. Both Charles,
Laura, and Ralph who
lives in Dallas are the children of my father's sister, Kathleen Spooner who married Charles McLeod.
Do you know a Laura who lives in Auburn,
