INTRODUCTION

Wednesday January 24, 2001 2:00 PM

Dog tired from walking home from the shopping centers on Chestnut Hill Road, I was glad to see the wishing well on the front lawn of my son and fiancé’s home.  Most of the snow from the last storm was melted from the streets and sidewalks but the lawns were still coated with about two inches.  I opened the back door and removed my shoes so that I wouldn’t get the kitchen floor dirty.  Nobody was home except Sandy the Golden Labrador and Tiger the family cat.  I climbed the few stairs to my room and released the hook on the door that keeps the pets and my young grandchildren out of my home office.  I put my briefcase on the twin bed against the back wall under the new windows that overlooked the back yard and the above ground pool.  The sun was streaming in and I wondered when the installers were going to return to replace the moldings so that I could put the curtains back up.  The room was cramped with my computers, desks and worktables.  I could hardly move around without bumping into something.  I had thrown out in a fit of anger half my equipment that I had brought from Georgia a year before, as it was in every ones way and I knew it was irritating my family.  I sat down in one of the two plush chairs in front of one of my three networked computers that had the 56k modem.  I pushed the power button.  The LEDs flashed and the motor and CPU fan started to hum.  The monitor startup screens kept popping on and eventually the screen turned the color green and the password window appeared.  I clicked the mouse on the entry box and typed the password ALEXUS.  Windows 98 desktop started to display and the familiar start up tune came thru the speakers.  I remembered that I hadn’t checked my E-mail that morning.  I clicked once on the Juno icon as I always keep my desktop in Web Page display mode.  The startup window for my free E-mail service opened and I clicked on the ajledoux@juno.com account.  After several advertising screens appeared and I clicked them closed, it’s always a pain but that’s what you have to put up with when you use a free service.  It finally prompted to check if I had new mail.  I clicked yes and waited for the modem to make its irritating squealing and screeching handshaking tones and then watched the progress bar reach 100% and tell me that I had received 27 new messages.  I started down thru the list and kept deleting the junk promotional messages when I went to click on the next message I froze.  The next two messages had the exact addresses and subjects. 

“Hunter Tina-Marie      Concetta Chillemi”

I couldn’t believe my eyes, I clicked on the first message, and as I started to read it I got a feeling of anticipation;

My name is Tina Hunter.  I'm looking for Alexander John LeDoux, born February 20, 1938.  I'm following up on a message he posted February 15,

1999 on Family Tree Maker's bulletin board regarding  Bessette & LeDoux Families.  I have information on Concetta Chillemi's family. 

If you are the Alexander LeDoux I am looking  for, I can be reached at the following numbers:

Kind regards, Tina
