My first chance to experience the Ft Wayne library was when we traveled to the city to research my husband's ancestors who lived in Ft Wayne--the library was an added bonus! Now, I wish I could go back. They have so many resources. To be there with so many like-minded online friends--well, I couldn't imagine anything better!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927510992143247693.post-41769437187583024342012-03-27T10:22:53.286-05:002012-03-27T10:22:53.286-05:00How lucky are YOU?!!
