I'm sorry to report that my grandmother, Muriel M Hoffman, passed away on November 25, 2007 at the age of 93. She enjoyed her genealogical work to the very end. If anyone here knew her and would like her obituary or memorial information, I would be happy to provide it. If anyone wishes to obtain a copy of "Leaves from the Gum Tree", please e-mail me. Our family will continue to make them available to carry on my grandmother's commitment to the vast amount of research she did into the Gum lineage. I can be contacted at chkaser@comcast.net.
Sincerely, Catherine Hoffman Kaser
