Passages
Correction
I was scanning through the web and saw my father's obituary listed in the November 2001 issue of Quaker Life.Ê As I read through it, I found some wrong information.Ê My mother's name was Janell Moody Newlin, not Janell Moody Woody.Ê I only mention this for genealogical purposes.Ê Cynthia Newlin
Editor's Note: The corrected "Passage" should read:
