Bill:

If you are a paid-up PGCA Member your displayed forum info. should identify you as a "PGCA Member". not merely a "Forum Associate", as is denoted right now.

Sometimes the system does not register paid-up or full membership status, and it may preclude you for having access to the "members only" sections of the forum.

This discrepancy has happened to me, and an email by you to Mary Bowes, the PGCA Membership Coordinator, should quickly straighten it out.

Stump: I will contact M. Bowes after the new year. I've been a member for only a couple months or so; perhaps she's been busy and I've fallen through the cracks.

Chris & Bill: I checked out the thread of Chris' and it's extremely interesting. Thank you. If interested, I can attempt to make a copy of the photo of Gil & Patsy that's hanging on my mother's kitchen wall and make it available to whomever is interested. It'll be a while though, as I don't plan to visit until spring.

I also checked out Chris' link re: "Princess Pat". Was interesting to read various articles in the newspaper.

Thanks again.

That would be great Bill! I sent you a PM.

Bill is now a bona fide PGCA member!

Thank you, Chuck. Much appreciated.

Happy New Year.
