This may be one of Ross' shortest editions of the RFN but it is great as always. The highlights:
- An optimistic and beautiful first paragraph where Ross looks to the future of the family and he is filled with hope. He even wonders about the future of the newsletter.
- An everpresent report on the "Hollis Regans" whom we followed in the first two newsletters and whose gravesite the RFN pointed me toward.
- John Daniel Farrell's baptism at St Aloysius Church in Livingston Manor is news
- Brother Matthew Regan had a bad break
- Mother Elaine had a visit
Elaine Regan
- The Mulherins had the mumps
- News of California Jack Regan
- Corrections and additions to the original mailing list
My favorite column is "Information Which Everyone Should Have". Just about anything I know about the Regan clan I learned from this section. Sure, my mom talked endlessly about the Regans and she and Aunt Helen would have some spirited family discussions during the holidays, so I heard plenty, but this is documentation and it never fails to answer questions I have. In this issue Ross lists the vital information of all of Peter and Nellie Regan's (hereafter referred to as Mom and Pop) grandchildren. A fine and informative list.

I hope this whets your appetite! Don't just read the headlines, follow the link above for the real issue!
