Subject: Hello Cousin
Nancy,
I have had fun sharing photos with Beth, Cheryl, Janet, Mark, and Rebecca. Also, several folks, you don’t know. Years ago, when I did a smaller Family Tree project, “My Cousins,”; I was even in touch with Kari.
Thank you for clarifying the mislabeled photo. You are RIGHT. The person is Ralph Skillin on my mom’s side of the family. A dumb mistake on my part.
I would be thrilled to receive anything you can share. I haven’t shared this with Beth, but I believe she and I have exchanged enough emails to create a book.
Whether it turns into a family book or not, there will be published within the family a Family Tree with source documents. You are on the list for a copy. ?
I know you don’t like Facebook. I didn’t either for years. But if you ever want to try it, you will find many in our family have changed their minds and use it. Even if only a little bit.
It tickles me to think of you still calling me Johnnie. I’m working my way up to a phone call. Pam bought me hearing aids, and I’m almost ready.
Cousin John
P.S. I can say that and be unique. Usually, I put an IV after my name. There are a lot of John Elcik’s in this world. And not just my son. I’ve even been corresponding with one in New York. The story will be in the book. ?
Dr. John Paul Elcik, IV
