Hi Nanct,

 NB>  NB>> duplication in middle (not used) names... My sister Lydia was
 NB> partly  NB>> named for our great-grandmother, and I think she got that
 NB> family's  NB>> silver flatware...   :)

 RH> We don't have too many with the same name. Helps that we're so
 RH> scattered and Dad got married so much later than his older brother &
 RH> sister.

 NB> You probably have a lot fewer people to be given names to, as well...
 NB> :)

Yes, quite a bit fewer. Dad is one of 4, Mom, one of 3.

 RH> All of their kids (my cousins) seemed to be of my folk's generation
 RH> when I was a kid, and most were closer to them than me and my siblings.

 NB> Like my son is with my youngest siblings... he's closer in age to them
 NB> than they are to me... and being the oldest of his generation, the
 NB> youngest of his cousins certainly seem to be of another generation...

There were never any cousins my age tho.

 RH> My sister Lisa got a double family name--corruption of Elise
 RH> and her middle name was a last name on my mom's side, I think my
 RH> maternal great grandfather's side. I don't know who will get my
 RH> grandmother's silver at this point.

 NB> It may depend on who is interested and/or has the need or space for
 NB> it... :)

I think she and I are the only ones that want it.

 NB>  RH>> fiancee--so far. Things could change but I'm not too sure at
 NB> this  RH>> point.
 NB>  NB>> So less interest perhaps in keeping family
 NB> traditions/heirlooms...

 RH> Apparantly so. Don't know how much Don will use it but he'll have the
 RH> room to stow the pot.

 NB> And that can be another important factor in who ends up with stuff..
 NB> :)

That's for sure!

 NB>  RH>>> Don't know if he'll ever make any, Mom's copy of the recipe is
 NB>  RH>>> somewhere in the house but we don't know where.
 NB>  NB>>> If it's still in the house, it'll turn up eventually...  :)
 NB>  RH>> Who knows at this point--it may have gotten tossed out
 NB> inadvertantly  RH>> or when somebody was going thru a pile of
 NB> books/papers. It would be  RH>> nice if it did, but I'm not too
 NB> optimistic at this point.
 NB>  NB>> You never know.  :)

 RH> I don't, and hope that it will show up at some point.

 NB> Maybe Don will make an effort to try to find it once (if) he retrieves
 NB> the pot...  :)

 NB>  NB>>> And, maybe, when Don goes to pick up the pot, he can ask for a
 NB>  NB>>> copy of their copy of the recipe..   :)
 NB>  RH>> Yes, and we'll get it from him, put it into electronic format.
 NB>  NB>> And then you'll have it, too... and be a source to retrieve it
 NB> from,  NB>> should it go missing (again)...   :)

 RH> As long as the storage and retrieval format is compatable with the
 RH> current technology, we'll be fine. Once one of them changes, all bets
 RH> are off as to being able to access the recipies.

 NB> I suppose that it then falls on you to make sure that it stays in an
 NB> accessible format...  :)


By default, yes. By Steve's being a computer geek/guru. (G)
