[fudge stripe cookays]

35. One of my ancestors was one of the first valedictorians at BC.

It helped me locate him, actually.

He married one of my Great grandfather's sisters. She was Anne Smith, and he was John Taylor. To a genealogist, that's called a NEEDLE in a HAYSTACK!

But the archivist at BC was very nice. At least managed to find a middle name for the guy so I could continue my quest.

I'm now in touch with their great granddaughter. That branch of the family had been lost almost a century. And now they are found.

Bummer sidenote: His valedictory address was....get this: "The Value of Conservative Principles."

[eyesroll]

42. Cool.

BC's archivist (Fred? I think that's his name) is quite helpful. I put together a "50 years ago" feature for the student newspaper -- he had all sorts of photos, news clippings, even old ads (shoes -- $1.95 -- no ration stamps!).

[fudge stripe cookays]
