Just for everyone's FYI, the airfares are way down from last year. Last year I paid $280 round-trip from San Jose CA, this year I can get a round-trip, non-stop for $151 and change! That's a big drop in airfare. I didn't check other except Oakland CA and it was about the same, just a few $$

Oh- Manuel- thank you- that makes sense. In the 1900 US Census the transcriber wrote Terajean now I can see how Trajano could look like Terajean- if I stretch it. Also- I can see how he would go by John as he grew up in boston. I LOVE the wonderful people on this list- you are so helpful.
