Subject: AVONDALE "AVOLON" SOLVED!!!
Date: Sun, 1 Feb 1998 06:55:27 -0800


OK, folks when you wake up in the wee hours thinking about this stuff it's
getting pretty serious!

Sandy and I attended a funeral in Modesto yesterday AM and then baby sat
our granddaughter in Lodi after that and didn't get home until late. Took
a quick scan of the 165 some odd messages, shut the darn thing off and went
to bed.

Well, I woke up thinking about Avondale. I've been watching this thing
transpire over the last several weeks and months. I thought Louise was/is
getting real close of solving this puzzle, and has disclosed so many great
new avenues to research in the process.

This is my "FIRST" and probably "LAST" input on the subject, since I
figured it out. In skimming yesterdays posts to the list, I noticed a
couple regarding Spanish and Italian web sites. Then I got to thinking
about the impression on that infamous letter. Could it be some form of a
reverse image? I thought I would check the world wide word index web site
and do a reverse image of sorts. I found it in Italian, "NO LOVA"
(Avolon)!!!!

OK! OK! I've spelled it wrong, there is no such world wide word index web
site and this is really a "HOAX", but it sounded so good I just couldn't
resist.

Sorry for disturbing all you serious minded genealogists, but even God has
a sense of humor.

Have a great Sunday,

Harleigh Winkler


PS: Oh yea, I'll get back to those of you sent queries (or asked about
some of mine) after church. Hope the Lord will forgive me for bringing Him
into this matter!!
