Linda, I so appreciate the mention and your comment on my post. Thank you.
As always, thanks for the mention 🙂 I love being in such great company – so many interesting posts this week.
Hi Linda! You always honor me with a “Pingback” on Vita Brevis -and I truly appreciate it. Your site is amazing with so very much great information to be learned and shared.
I think you are a genealogy rock star!
All my best –
Jeff Record
Hi Jeff, Vita Brevis is an excellent blog. I’d expect nothing less from NEHGS and I love your stories. As for rock star – I’m definitely not in that category, but I appreciate the compliment.
Thanks for mentioning my blog post on the Free Thinkers!
Thank you, Linda, for sharing my story of Gary Knox and his carvings. He died a few years ago from Parkinson’s and prostate cancer, both of which my husband lives with now.
I enjoyed all your Family Stories, especially the one about the China Cabinet and the one called Trinidaddy.
