While reviewing the Geni.com site on September 16, 2009, I kept coming across possible matches in our tree with a tree managed by Bernie Alvey, from Louisville, KY. Mr. Alvey’s name is not familiar to me, but if anyone in the family recognizes him, please contact me.
His geni.com profile is here:

JJJJ 2007 Photos for Digital Photo Frames
Chug has received several emails asking about digital photo frames. Most digital photo frames do not need to be attached to a computer to work. Most of them allow you to plug in a USB flash drive (or other memory card) that can be loaded with as many images as the flash drive will hold. An 8 gb USB flash drive will hold approximately 4,500 pictures. You can add pictures (up to the drive’s size limit) or delete pictures from a flash drive.
If you want the photos from JJJJ 2007, including most of the older images displayed on this web site, to display on a digital photo frame, there are several ways to get the images:
- The JJJJ 2007 DVD set includes 2 CD photo disks
- Send Chug an 8 gb USB flash drive (or other memory card) – please include a self-addressed stamped envelope and he’ll put the photos on the drive and return it to you
- Download the photos from the two Picasa albums (Chug sent email invites last week)

Caitlin R – page photo
Caitlin R is serving as a page in the U.S House for the spring 2008 semester. She attended the State of the Union speech and she was able to shake hands with President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and Barack Obama.
Chug believes the coolest thing about being a page is that they go to school in the attic of the Library of Congress Jefferson Building, which is one of the oldest and most beautiful buildings on Capitol Hill. And the view to the west from the common room is incredible.

Ollie is digital: ON or OFF, no in between.
Baxter is analog: a mix of hot and cold. Maybe it’s the lousy haircut I gave him….

Christmas in NYC
Spent a lovely five days and nights in NYC at Christmas.
Saw two fun shows – “Spamalot” and “Is He Dead?” – and the Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall – all highly recommended.
Enjoyed several evenings wandering through the holiday shops and watching the ice skaters at Bryant Park. Although the ice rink at Rockefeller Center is the famous one, Bryant Park is beautiful and it is not crowded so you can watch from the rink wall, shouting out encouragement to the newbies of all ages. Great fun, and some of the skaters are excellent.Took youngest child to see Santa at Macy’s. Although the Macy windows were a disappointment (the Bergdorf Goodman and Lord & Taylor windows were much better), the Santa we visited at Macy’s was the REAL SANTA! The beard, the voice, the laugh, the Santa outfit – SPECTACULAR! And despite having dealt with crowds for hours, ALL the elves were smiling and full of Christmas cheer.

The Christmas tree at the Met was, as always, beautiful and worth the trip.
Had an outstanding meal in Chinatown at Sanur and good dim sum at The Chatham. Also had a very good lunch at Toasties and enjoyed the jazz brunch at Rare Bar & Grill in the Shelburne Hotel.
FDNY: “Chinatown Dragon Fighters“
The holiday train show at Grand Central is always fun.
Midnight Mass at St. Malachy’s on West 49th had good singing and music – good homily, too!
The 7-day unlimited ride Metro card for only $24 made it easy to go all over the city using the subway and buses. An amazing bargain.
Merry Christmas!
