I happend to go back to Massachusetts this week for a job interview. I stayed
with my mother.  she showed me lots of records that she had from Uncle
Eddie (Gustaff).  I took them back with me, but only have done a cursory
glance.  It was the stuff she did not give to her brother. I have include
some of what I found below.

It was much better.  I have found it easier to just include it as one big
text file rather then as attachments.  You never know what the other end
is using for a reader.
