John,

Thank you so much! When I learned that "On The Trail of the Cretneys" was written almost 25 years ago, I was a little discouraged. I'm very excited that I will have an opporunity to write to Margaret. Are you a descendent of Thomas and Jane Cretney? My great grandparents were Robert Cretney and Hannah Gelling. James Cretney and Mary Evans were my grandparents. I grew up in Milwaukee, WI, but moved to California about 25 years ago.

Thank you again. You put a very big smile on my face!
