And now for #genchat 's big announcement (affecting me, @geneapleau too):
Lor . sh is shutting down in a couple months, so we're going to be moving our instance to genealysis.social in late May/early June (after the next chat).
I'll keep you all posted on the progress! @genchat@a.gup.pe

A3 #genchat @genchat@a.gup.pe Too bad Marian had to step out. But I seem to remember that she had donated her aunt's WAC things to a museum, though I don't remember which one. I wonder if it was this:

Army Women's Museum | Fort Gregg-Adams, VA
The U.S. Army Women's Museum is the only museum in the world dedicated to Army women. The Museum honors women's contributions to the Army from the Revolutionary War to the present, telling their stories with interactive exhibits and videos throughout the gallery, as well as film presentations in our theater. The museum also has an extensive research and learning center, unique gift shop and memorial garden.
