Hi Rock,

You are to be commended on all the tremedous research that you have done on
your ancestors, and the help that you have offered others on theirs. It
has been very interesting to follow all your research and photos, and also
to have had the opportunity to meet you at the Johnson Reunion, in 2002.
It must have been very fulfilling to have your family members along on your
recent trip to Denmark. How exciting! You will have many memories to
share. I have been to both the Odense and Copenhagen Archives and found
them so very helpful, with my research.
It is wonderful that so many of your descendants are interested in what you
have achieved, and you leave a legacy of your works for them to carry on.
Wishing you both well.

Ellen Harrsion
