Betty,
I had almost completed writing a long message to you when an incoming fax
interrupted me.  I must have had it in the receiving mode - just in case 
anta
Claus or Rudolph wanted to fax me something.  Santa Claus might have placed 
y
birth mother in that bag hanging over his shoulder and she jumped out!! 
Anyway, I don't think he knows how to properly use the fax as I received
nothing but an interruption with writing to you!
Do you have the address of the funeral home?  I might be able to learn if 
t's
still in existence, only doing business under a different name.  Please send 
me
what information you have and I'll pursue the genealogical avenue for you.  I
subscribe to several Internet genalogical mailing lists.  There is a Polish
genealogy website.  I let my PO Box go after breaking my foot with having no
idea when I will drive again.  Please send the info to:  2599 3E Riverside
Drive, Columbus, OH 43221.  I'd love to help you and make 1997 THE year for
both of us!
My Chicago helper will soon be checking the census which should hold the clue
that I need to solve my birth mother mystery.  I did receive a Christmas card
from the woman who I've been in touch with for years - just mind-boggling!
No, my foot is not in a shoe yet - been over 4 months.  Once the bones healed
the doctors told me that I had severely injured the connective tissue and 
arch.
The last time that I asked how soon I might be able to wear a shoe, the 
octor
shook her head.  I remain hopeful.
Merry Christmas to you and the family!  
-Mary
