Autumn's 2005 Holiday greeting said in part, "... Our families know how committed we are to the group, and it has been fun to have various sisters and daughters join us when they can. My family and in-laws always ask what we have been reading when I see them (sometimes I can even remember! But only either title or author, rarely both!)...." This webpage is dedicated to Autumn's family and in-laws.
