The fundraiser for the First Church in Ludlow that just completed was a very successful program. I believe that all the participants learned at least something and most picked up a lot of information regarding doing their own family research.

If you have some time, go to http://ludlowtv.org/LCTV/Video.html then select “OTHER” from the “CATEGORIES” menu. Then select “MRS BUTTERCUP PRESENTS”. They say the camera adds about 10 pounds. “They” are wrong. To me, the camera adds at least 55 pounds!! Then don’t forget to came back for comments which are welcomed and encouraged…unless they’re about the 55 pounds…
