Dear Bo,
Things are hectic here as usual. Dick retired last December 2006 as advised by the nerologist and also as recognized by me and the family.
...
One day when things are calmer here and I have time, I would love to gather info about our family. I also want to find out more about Mother's family - Knights and the Hylton family. I want to verify Dick's Father's connection to the Wright Brothers. His Father was Clarence Wright Hylton and was named Wright because his mother was a Wright & cousin to the Wright brothers. I want to find out the true story - yes or no
...
