Hello Butler Cousins, From David Smith

I thought this would be a good way to share a little information about what's going on with all the family. After Vernon's death, I realized that I hadn't seen some of you in about 13 years, since Grandpa's funeral. Its a shame to at least not stay in contact some way or another, considering that we all probably have email and web access. I know everyone is busy with their lives and their kids. It'd just be nice to know what is happening with as many as we can get involved in this blog.

I'm gonna send an email to everyone I have an address for, and that's not really a lot of you, and invite you to join in. You can post anytime you want, once I've added you to the list, and I'll try to put together a Butler family email list. I promise I won't flood you with forwards of emails or any type of annoying in-box stuff that you'll have to spend time deleting as soon as you get it.

If you would do me a favor and pass this along to other cousins, aunts and uncles, so that we can gather contact info and try to have a way of sending out news, announcements and chit-chat. My email address is david@dcldsmith.com. Also, we have a family website at www.dcldsmith.com .

Hopefully ya'll will join in this and we can at least know what is going on in our family, even if we don't have time to get together very often.

Look forward to hearing from you.

David
