Re: grin Hi Rich, Oregon Chip attribution grin

Thanx Steve. No dedication. Just having fun.

Are you familiar with the JAPAULDON c&s? I have a USPC scan somewhere (I'm at work). I found out that JAPAULDON was the name Mary Woolworth (yes, that Woolworth) Donahue gave to a train car the Donahues owned that took them in the roaring twenties between NY and Florida (Mary's husband was John Paul Donahue, hence JAPAULDON. Mary pronounced: JAPLE-DIN).

Turns out that their daughter Mary Woolworth Donuhue (I believe the last surivor to the Woolworth fortune) is alive and in Illinois. I just got off the phone with Mary. After some half hour of here relating playing tennis with cousin Barbara Hutton (daughter of EF Hutton for which I have a c&s) she told me that the bad news. She doesn't know where the chips are. The good news is that she told me she'll search for them and give me a call. A new best friend is born. Only in chip collecting
