I certainly wish to stay on the list.
when I was around the age of 10 years old, my great grandfather, Joseph 
Paschal Baker, born in Georgia, used to tell stories of Midway, Georgia.  He 
started my love of our family history.  He said there wasn't a place that 
size anywhere else that had as many famous persons.  Of course I came from 
the Bakers.  The Quarterman's had one of the Baker women as wife, so they too 
are all related.
One of the Bakers was best friends of Teddy Roosevelt's mother.  After she 
died and Teddy was in town, she gave him the water coloring her mother had 
given her as a very young girl.
Yes history is a wonderful thing, and it is wonderful of you to keep it going
thank you
