    Dear Mr. Cumming,
    I have been doing research on my Berry family for years and read your mother’s family history on M.R. Berry. I picked it up again today and read the first page recounting the story of a grandfather clock in her father’s home in Kennesaw.
    I would love to see this clock! I live in Kennesaw and I can’t believe I’m just now reading that particular sentence!
    I don’t want to inconvenience you, but if you have time to contact me about our connected family history, I would so appreciate it.
    Thank you,
    Jan Berry Chandler
