Hello folks. I've been incommunicado for almost a month. Finally got online in the middle of this week and am now dealing with approximately 1500 pieces of e-mail. This outage was the accumulation of work pressures and travel, problems with Internet access, and a bout with the flu. My apologies to anyone who needed something and got no response from me in the interim. Looks like a lot has been going on -- county websites moving to new locations, new mailing lists, new query sites, etc. I'll be forwarding pertinent information to all of you over the next few days, along with updating the state pages with all the right links. By the way, I have a new e-mail address: elsi@augustmail.com. I'll be changing the address on the ALGenWeb web site and the county sites. Mail sent to this address (lcompton@onramp.net) will be forwarded to my new address for 12 months, so I shouldn't lose any e-mail. Unfortunately, I now have some complaints to deal with. Two different people have volunteered (3 times each) to take over as County Coordinator for Montgomery County, and I hadn't responded. Understandably, they are both peeved with me. I'll be contacting them and announcing a new CC very soon. My apologies if any of YOU have tried to contact me and gotten no response. I hope that I haven't lost us some willing volunteers. Now, if the complaints were only about me, I'd just deal with them, but I also have some complaints about unresponsive County Coordinators. Since I'm so terribly sensitive right now to situations which make it impossible to respond to queries or other notes concerning our VOLUNTEER status in this project, I certainly will be responding directly to the person who complained and following up with the particular County Coordinators. Thank you to all of you who give so unselfishly of your time to ALGenWeb. Regards, Leigh
