Thanks! - and a couple suggestions...

Hi everyone,

This is Dan in Frankfurt.

Thanks for stopping by and contributing. I hope more do. We've all known that this family has spread out all over. I doubt many of us know where most of the others live, what they're doing, and so forth. Maybe this will help change that a bit by being a place you can easily refer back to if you want to look someone up.

I'm happy that so many have contributed so far, and hopefully more will. We'll keep sending out invitations to whatever email addresses we discover. If you know of anybody we should invite, just mail me and I'll put them on the list to invite.

A couple suggestions. First, start out your post with your name and location, at least for your first post. If you don't, sometimes it takes a bit of reading before you can figure out who the author is.

Second, post a picture. You can add one to your profile like Christy did, or you can paste one into your post like so...

This is, from left to right, Aoife, Emily, and Siobhan at a wildlife park in Dublin, Ireland. Aoife was fascinated by the peacock - and terrified once when she got too close and it turned on her to chase her down! (It only ran a couple feet towards her before going back to it's business.)

Thanks again for contibuting!

Dan
