Please pardon the intrusion to your list......I have no Genealogical ties
to SA, but have warm remembrances of our visit there in Mar/Apr 1995, plus
friends we made while on safari in the Craddock area.

I was delighted to find your address as a cc included from a different list,
and immediately joined. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all your posts,
including the Geographical and Historical comments that have been made, plus
recognizing some of the places mentioned.

Would someone please explain to me what an IRC is? (I know it stands for
International Reply Coupon, but what exactly does that mean?) I could
guess all kinds of things, but have no idea if any guess might be correct.

Thanks so much for allowing me to be included in your list......
