Howard, I am a grand daughter of E. Howard Baird, brother to your great grandfather, Frank. My mother is Elizabeth Baird Hosking. Grandpa Baird would be pleased to hear that you are named after him. If your grt grandfather were half as loving and endearing as Howard Baird was your family was very fortunate.
I corresponded some with Aunt Wink (Juanita) before her death and she gave me some information on your branch of the family and also sent me a copy of her book of memories, which I cherish.
It's interesting that you mention that your father is living in Medford. That's about 2 hours south of us (Sutherlin). I would love to get in touch with him.
You can reach me at
Dot97479@yahoo.com and I'll send you my regular emai address.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Dorothy (Dot) Hosking Huntley
