Cheri, This is really sad to hear. They were the ones who helped me obtain the St. John's Cemetery book and Ernest was the one who was especially helpful in my receiving it. This book has allowed me to help many listmembers who had family members at St. John's which I will still happily do in the future. The book is becoming well worn.

I want to say it was in existence for 30+ years. The letter was with regret, informing everyone that the APGHS will cease operations. If anyone paid dues for 2011, they will be refunded (I have the email and snail mail if you need this). The snail mail (post office box) will be closed as of Dec. 31, 2011. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
