Subject: Thelma L. Bodine question
Dave-
I have been trying to find information on Thelma Bodine on and off for
decades. For the first time, I see you have it listed as that she was
married to a man with last name Stewart. How did you find that? This is new
and I want to know if it is firm information or merely possible. Advise. I
would very much appreciate your help. Thank you.
