Hi Lorie! It is Friday night, Dec. 8th, 2006 and I was just watching the CBS Evening News. Ralph Waldo McBurney was just on TV in an interview!!! He is now 104 years old and still living and WORKING in Quinter, Kansas! The piece caught my ear as I am also a genealogist with a family connection to Quinter. I couldn't believe it. So when it was over, I 'googled' his name to see if there was anything else on this man, and that is when your Ancestry.com query showed up. I sure hope you receive this, and if you have NOT located anyone that can help you, I believe this is the man to reach! If you get this SOON, you can probably still go to CBS.com and look for his interview. It was about being "America's Oldest Worker." I am also thinking of reaching him because he would certainly have known my Trimmer family relatives if he has lived in Gove County most of his life. By the way, he was born in 1902, if that helps. Please let me know if you get this email. Good luck! Susan Nelson 913-888-0131 (Kansas City area)
