Mary, after noticing the subject name, it brought to mind our previous
correspondence on a Rev. John Kerns, and I want to at this time tell you how
happy I am that I have found MY Rev John Kerns. Although I have not
parents, nor siblings, at this time for him, I have found him, his first
wife (my direct line with him) and his second wife after Edna's passing. I
have a picture of him on my website ~
