For Jan McChesney: When I asked (June 1, 1998) if Dumfries was not the home
town of Robert Burns, there was tongue-in-cheek. If you have been so
fortunate (?) to have had extensive acquaintance of those with the
Cunningham surname, you would know by now that they have an insufferable
sense of humor. All of this was brought on by the picture of James
Cunningham (looking a great deal as I), and hanging over the mantle in
Robert's  domicile. Apparently, James was presiding over the Lodge duly
assembled. The caption included the advisory that he was the patron of
Robert Burns. However, have not linked back to this particular James. And
this is the only instance I know of the friendship and cooperation between
the two. But seriously, have you elsewhere run across any other of these
kinds of connections  between Cunningham and Burns?

Best wishes,

James R. Cunningham
