The
Power of the Pen
Submitted

I
ran into your site while surfing
and have an idea which you might
find interesting. In l979, while
living in Santa Barbara,
California, I was introduced to
PATRICIA MEADE-WHITE . She had
been doing genealogical research
for over 40 years. Ms. White had
been a columnist with the New
York Times, and wrote a column
entitled: "AMAZING AMERICA,"
which was published in the weekly
Travel section. As a result of
her column, and the obvious
influence of the NY Times, the
U.S. signed 22 treaties with
Latin-American countries. Amazing
achievement, and an outstanding
example of "the power of the
pen"! Considering she wrote this
during Depression even more
outstanding. To make a long story
short, with another friend we did
President Reagan's genealogy. Ms.
White went to her reward in 1984,
so yours truly is the only one
left to tell the story of the
President's book on his
roots.
