My response:
Beth knows Annie. Anyway, Annie was married to Terry Karkos, a well-known Maine Genealogy expert specializing in Slovak ancestry.

The above wedding photo of John P. Elcik, Jr. and Mary Byras was sent to me by Mark. It is a great addition to our collection.
Thanks, Mark.

Mark,
That’s what I must have seen somewhere.
The one story that I remember was that your Dad was only once in a position to draw his gun. Unfortunately, he was in the police car, and his seatbelt prevented him from doing so. Is that a true story?

John,
That is a true story, but it wasn’t my dad that was my stepbrother. Ronnie, his police cruiser, was shot up that day.

Mark,
It just shows how important it is to ask questions. I’ve been telling this story wrong for years. Ouch!
Also, it would help if you told me more about yourself. You love to fish is one place to start. Are we talking rainbow trout or something larger?
I sent one summer trapping lobsters in a place called Winter Harbor, Maine, just across the bay from Bar Harbor. We had a great time and did it in a rowboat. ?

John,
I like fishing for brook trout salmon, and like kraut, I do a lot of spring fishing. I also hunt deer. It’s funny; I can remember when you guys lived in Winter Harbor. I can remember coming and visiting you guys there.
