Fantastic! Thanks a bunch.

I'll be making contact tomorrow--if anything interesting happens, I'll be sure to share.

Awesome

By the way, super cool that you're doing this. I'd be hella glad to randomly get an old family item like that.

Oh my!

Don't let the niece get you down. I'm sure she'll come around once her mom gets the bible and sees it for what it is :)

Still, I guess it's not completely uncalled-for to be a bit wary of random people calling up saying they have your family heirlooms...

Haha! Oh man I know about the whole putting off stuff because of head problems thing so no worries. Keep us posted if/when she writes something back though!

Also lmbo censoring my nick was probably a good call. Last of the Thurstons probably wouldn't "get it" as it were. We can just pretend it means T-shirt :haw:
