Helen,
It was so great to get your message. I never knew your grandmother's name was Anna -- I always called her Auntie Annie! She was a very nice woman and my brother Jim has always remembered her with great affection. He says she was the kindest hearted person he knew as a child. I also have wonderful memories of your grandfather, Tom Johnson. I know I've met Sonny but think he was older and I never got to know him well. I know your Aunt Helen McGinn and her husband (Charles?) are my youngest brother Donald's godparents. My sister and I get up to the city once or twice a year and if you are anywhere nearby would love to meet you. It sounds like you've done a lot of research already. We've done a lot on Dad's side (not much work actually -- they're a pretty small family). We have a picture of the Gogartys on the roof -- she's about half his size -- but Grandma said that she (Mary K.) always had the final word. It would be wonderful to speak to you. My e-mail is
pm@questm.com.
Best regards, Patricia McCready
