 DM> Hi Jim.  I checked the computer at my public library, but they didn't
 DM> have any of the books you mentioned.  I'll check the school library
 DM> sometime this week, when I get a chance.
 
 I'm not surprised. Again, libraries will tend to keep "local" information.
 I am surprised that they don't have the "Handbook of North American Indians"
 though. That's kinda like not having a set of encyclopedias. BTW, the local
 bookstore had (and mat still have) some copies of the particular volume (#7)
 for $14. It's usually well over $20 at the government bookstore.
 DM> My thinking on this is that the creator put me in that area for a
 DM> reason, and  due to modern influences, I moved from there.
 The "modern influence" that caused my family to leave China was called
 World War Two.
 DM> It might help me to learn about what the Creator had in mind for me,
 DM> as much as why I wound up here in SoCal.  
 I suppose.
 DM> Also, information about the Kumeyyai is much easier to find now.
 I suspect that if I interogated any libray system around here I would find
 very little on the Kumeyyai. But, Ill check.
 DM> They are  beginning to reach out into the community more, and 
nformation
 DM> is flowing  better.  I still read what I can, when I see it.
 
 It's the historical information I'm looking for, for the most part.
 
 DM> The day I left Washington, (I lived outside of Olympia), I cried.  No
 DM> job, and one waiting here when I got back.  (Shrug)  Guess it wasn't
 DM> meant to be. 
 
 When I got out of the Navy in 1958, Oregon was in a deep recession and my
 parents had already moved to SoCal. I went down there for a job and spent 
en
 years trying to found a way out. When the opportunity came, it took us about
 ten minutes to pack. (Well, not really. ) I have since been back on one
 (maybe two) occasions since 1968. I think I would rather be homeless in 
 Oregon than working and existing in SoCal.
