Subject: Paul John Bodine, Jr.
I've been looking at your website and just love it. The amount of work, and the care you so you so clearly have put into it, are evident.
I stumbled across it looking for information about my cousin, Timothy Baillie, whose stepfather was Paul John Bodine, Jr. Uncle Paul was a very dear man and we think of him with great fondness. I did notice you were missing the surname of his second wife, my aunt: Nancy Ann Waggener. I've dabbled in genealogical research and thought you may want to include it (Waggener research can be a doozy, too).
Keep up the good work!
