Be sure to thank them at your next opportunity: Deputy Governor, Elder, & 400th Anniversary Chair Tom Billard Surgeon Joseph Tomlinson Archivist Marilyn Poppe Data Roster Chair Karen Winchester Education Chair Debbie Slonsky Hospitality Chair Bunny Larry Public Relations Chair Kimberly Ely Junior Membership Chair Lynne Perry Development Chair Andy Turner EDITOR’S NOTES This is certainly NOT the issue I originally envisioned a few months ago. We were supposed to be planning for a great Annual Meeting with an election and installation of officers, officiated by the Secretary General, Jane Groves Riddle Hurt. We were also looking forward to the 400th Anniversary of the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth. So much for plans. Time to turn lemons into Lemonade. You may notice a few extras in this issue, including contributions about children, animals, pilgrim clothing, and yes, laundry. As I asked last fall, and will repeat again, “Do you have an untold story, anecdote, or quote about your con- nection with the Mayflower? We can use it here, so please send it to your editor.” Greg Cooke, Secretary and Editor [email protected] FROM THE HISTORIAN TRANSFERS TO ARIZONA NAME AZ# GSMD# ANCESTOR Sheila Asala 1440 87281 Stephen Hopkins PAGE 4 SPRING 2020 NEW MEMBERS (SINCE FALL 2019) New Member AZ # GSMD# Passenger Ancestor Thomas Russell Drummond 1435 96098 John Alden Leslie Eugene Johnson 1436 96099 Myles Standish Jack Robert Phillips 1437 96230 Francis Cooke Charlotte Christine Carl-Mitchell 1438 96256 Isaac Allerton Carolyn Ann Clement 1439 96257 William Brewster Virginia Lee Hargett 1441 96392 Richard Warren Ronald Roger Cade 1442 96409 John Howland Charles Lee Kraus 1443 96410 Edward Fuller Bruce Elliott Covill 1444 96446 Stephen Hopkins Michael John Bastiaan de Blank 1445 96461 Edward Fuller Peter Matthew Kennedy de Blank 1446 96462 Edward Fuller Jennifer Gabriel Brophy Soden 1447 96463 Edward Fuller Jared Gordon Parker 1448 96559 William Brewster Lily Parker 1449 96560 William Brewster Millington H.

Contributed by Bunny Larry, Junior Member Chair The Pilgrims did not bring any large livestock animals with them on the Mayflower. In fact, the only animals known with certainty to have come on the Mayflower were two dogs, an English mastiff and an English spaniel, who are mentioned on a couple of occasions in the Pilgrims' journals.
