Vacation Schedule

I will be "on vacation" here at home the next two weeks. Five Good cousins are coming to look at their PA roots. I'm sure I will enjoy being their "tour leader." The first one arrives this evening and the others come Wednesday, 19th. Here is the basic schedule we have worked out, although some things could change as we go along.
Sunday, Sept. 16--Bowmansville area, Good Homestead
Monday--Lauck ancestor sites in Berks County, John Schmid program at Hinkletown Mennonite School in the evening
Tuesday--Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society, Gary & Judy Good come here for supper
Wednesday--Lancaster Courthouse, pick up two women at Harrisburg airport and come back here for supper
Thursday--Lancaster County "tourist" day seeing things such as Leola Produce Market, Ephrata Cloister, Lapp Valley Farm, etc.
Friday--The whole group sees the Bowmansville area, Shady Maple for supper
Saturday--The group takes a tour of Philadelphia sponsored by the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society, I scramble to do all my own things
Sunday, Sept. 23--The whole group attends our church and comes here for dinner, see the Groffdale area where the oldest Good immigrant first lived, get a buggy ride at Leola
Monday--two leave
Monday - Wednesday--side trip to Gettysburg and then on to Harrisonburg, VA to see where the Goods lived in VA, search for some documents, EMU library, etc. Return to PA in time for one to catch her flight out of Harrisburg
Thursday, Sept. 27--The last two leave.
Since history is my passion, I'm expecting to have a grand time. Posting may be sporadic or nonexistent until after Sept. 27.

Romaine and Leroy,

Many thanks for the very pleasant evening on Tues. May 18! It was a real pleasure to meet our distant cousin and friend Don Good from Austin, Texas. We are hoping for your research into our "Goods" to bring as much success as you had this past week, finding those original land patents of the Bowmansville Goods!

"Good" hunting and "Good" luck to all you Good descendants,

Your cousin,
Gary Good
