Hi Patty,

We knew a Robert (Bob) Bain who was married to a Janet. They lived in Edison NJ
in the 1960s but moved "back home" to Scotland. After their move they decided
they missed their friends and family here and were a bit happier with the New
Jersey weather so they moved back again. Can't imagine why they preferred this
weather! I'll never forget her - she knitted me the tiniest wee baby outfit I've
ever seen! If they sound as tho they might be up your tree, I may be able to get
you more info!
