Hello, Laura Elayer and Robert Elayer. Sandy told me to check the message board. It's nice to know I have more cousins out there and would love to hear from you. I've been wanting to contact you, Robert, to thank you for the work you and your father did compiling the family history book. What a treasure it is. I've laughed while reading it, I've cried while reading it, and it has always left me curious to know more about the present-day Elayers. And Laura, I'm in Cape Girardeau, MO, and would love to come to Springfield to meet you and Uncle Dick and Aunt Effie's kids and grandkids. Please e-mail me at
susan@rlci.com if you have time.
