Our rate of renewal has been very slow, and qur original list of subscribers, now number only 42. Withoµt the. co-operation of each of subscribers, Vofe cannot have the variety of material deemed necessary to make this a 'quality' public~tion. There have been many of you who have been most generous and giving of your data and records. But more than half of the original subscribers have not even sent in a query or a lineage. Without this information, we have no way of knowing what are the prime areas of interest. I am a 'die-hard' tho, s<;> am keeping the way open for perhaps a smaller, less frequent newsletter type of publication. I hope to use all the material which . h~s been submitted in .our May is.sue·, but if this is not possible, there will be another is.sue at a later date to use the material. We have sold our home in Riverside and plan to move in the· spring to Colorado (our original ho.me). Hopefully perhaps we can get in cont~ct as I will maintain the Clearing Hous·e files. My deepest thanks to those of you who have contributed and helped to make this publication live its two short years .
