Re: ATTN:Hutchinson Cousins--got OLD Hutchinson fotos?

Dear Ms.Toole,

I must apologise for being offline and therefore was not aware of your emails to me directly---i was hospit-alized, so wasn't online at all.
The Hutchinson family foto project of booklet/website
will be done by late fall. The reasons for delay have un- fortunately been many-as this has been a very challenging year for me, due to family illness, un-employment( and therefore not enough funds to complete project on time).
Also the project has quite grown from its initial intent. I began with a few surnames w/in my family tree. Other cousins suggested i add-in the wives' surnames, which then required many hours more work of adding/indexing/ cross-referencing,etc. Then folk wanted "related" surnames added-in, so i accomodated them,as well.
Then people also suggested adding data (histories, or family stories)-which again necessitated much additional work---which added many more hours and dollars involved into the project.
I am sorry to say that i am only one person working on this. And i have a day job too, as well as caring for elderly parents. Wish I might have a "staff" to assist, but as that isn't the case, I am doing the best I can w/what little time/funds i possess.
I do greatly apologise for any inconvenience i may have caused you. I know that scanning/emailing me an image or two must have caused you much time/cost and inconvenience. I will glady remove you from the project if it is your wish. I wouldn't want to upset anyone because of my inability to complete this "on-time" (according to other folks' deadlines).
Sincerely, Dina Spence
