Dear Mary Ellen,
The Spring 1989 issue of CROSSROADS arrived & also your letter of Mar. 1st.
I read the issue & letter carefully & began to answer the questions & after thinking about them decided that I thoroughly enjoy the CROSSROADS just as it is. I think the format is great & there is certainly a lot of information in it.
There is a mistake in the story of my grandmother on page 8 of this Spring issue. Kittie Horton’s mother’s name was Mary Fitzpatrick Horton, not Fitzgerald. I don’t know how that happened but I would appreciate it being corrected.
You are doing a great job. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Margaret Gass
