I have not been here for quite awhile and was happily surprised to see posts about my God Father and cousin Ambasador John E. Peurifoy. I lost touch with Betty Jane after she remarried and moved to California and knew she passed away but would love to here from anyone who knew her. I also have pictures as well as photo albums of them when he was amabasador to Guatemala and Greece. I also have a copy of the Time magazine cover and a trophy given to him by the State Department. Please contact me at jmcwells@hotmail.com
Thanks

Hi James,
Hope you are well. I have not been able to work much on the family tree for the last year.
However, a graduate student from New York is doing work on the Ambassador Peurifoy. She sent me an interview with Betty Jane Peurifoy. It is hilarious. It is a record of becoming the wife of a governent service employee. As it is a number of pages I plan to copy them and will send you one as soon as they are copied. Please resent your address as most of my genealogy material is currently in storage.

Hi Jim,
Here is my email. Hope you are well. Don't know if you were aware that April a year ago I went on medical leave. Disability was approved in October. Fortunately they back dated it to June. Went six months with no income and my savings tied up in retirement funds.
Most of my info is currently in storage. However, I'm trying to help this young lady at the State University of New York in Stoneybrook. She is doing her thesis on John Emil Peurifoy. I have a copy of her family tree to send. Unfortunately, my computer is giving problems and this is the only print copy at the present. Hope to get it copied before I sent it on.
She is the one who sent the interview with Betty Jane Peurifoy. It is about their going to Greece and all that she had to learn about the finer 'protocal' of an Ambassadors wife.
I also have a professional email at RobertPeurifoy@hotmail.com. I am developing a new career as a freelance writer. Unfortunately I am a freelance writer, not a published write. But I'm working on that at presence.
Looking forward to hearing from you. As my time is free I might be able to come out that way sometime. But it will be 2007 before that can happen. Want to make a cross country trip on my Harley, going out I-40 and coming back I-70. It will take some planning before then.
Take care.

Jim and Robert,

In conducting research on SC Circuit Judge James E. Peurifoy, John Peurifoy's uncle, I came accross this message board. My grandmother, Mildred Minus, was John's first cousin. Do you have any info on Judge Peurifoy? I would greatly appreciate any info you can provide and will be happy to send you anything I run across.

Sharon,

Yes I have a lot of information on Judge Peurifoy. He was my grand father. I was named after him. Please feel free to contact me. I travel to S.C. fairly often as we still own land in Walterboro and Hilton Head.
