Trey,

>Outside of Dallas - Wills Point, just the other side of Terrell. Her folks have a little lake house out there where her grandfather used to live. Be a big change from NYC <g>

Since you're talking family connections, I've wondered if you have any Walpole relatives in the Southeast US, particularly Alabama or Florida. My grandmother's sister (from Alabama) married a Walpole and lived most of her life in Panama City, Florida.
