Khathu: okay, i got the same email. i thought you had used them before

Seventies Soulchild: I'm going to mail it to my granddaddy and some other family members. and have them send it back.

Khathu: why is that? they ran out of kits

Seventies Soulchild: NY state doesn't allow them to do the medical testing because they are basically not licensed to do so in NYS

Khathu: my mother tried to obtain a free yesterday and they were charging $99

Seventies Soulchild: really???

Khathu: yeah...go to the site and check it out

Seventies Soulchild: I have a year book from 1990-91, but I'm not in it.

HistoryBuff: Wow. That's very interesting, Seventies! I don't know of any current family members who attended. Perhaps, that 's a good lead also.
