One of my friends and a Council cousin, Pat Daharsh jjust received the following email from the Southern California Genealogical Society -
Dear Patricia Darharsh,

This year's articles (submitted from all over the United States, Canada and Israel) were of high quality. Thank you for contributing your excellent article. Congratulations on your achievement from all of us at SCGS! We hope you will enter again next year.
Sincerely
Jean Chapman Snow, Coordinator

Pat is thrilled and so am I. We email and she sends me her stories and poems and I've been encouraging her for sometime to submit her work.
She says she is ready to send out more work and write more of her fabulous life stories. I know we will be congratulating Pat again soon.
