One more time around Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I want to apologize if I have offended anyone with my recent posting of "Strangers in the Box". It seems as though I have been contacted by a list manager that says it has nothing to do with her county. She no longer wishes me to post anything like this on her site. I will abide by her wishes. However, the loss maybe great for her subscribers. This is the only complaint that I have received. I made sure that I had permission from these subscribers to post their ideas before I posted the response to "Strangers in the Box". I have "several, several" people who have thought that these were good ideas. Ideas that they had not thought about. This posting has caused other people to share their ideas of what has worked for them. AND it has caused other people to think about getting this information before it is too late. Furthermore, ideas and positive feedback is still coming in that I haven't shared with anyone. I thought everyone interested in genealogy would like to know how to best preserve their family history. Because once it is gone (documented family pictures), it is gone!!!! And it doesn't make any difference what county we live in or what county our ancestors came from. If anyone out there would like to know the good ideas from others who have responded to this posting, you may email me privately as I do not want to get into trouble with anyone. I don't know why it is you have to come across sour apples from time to time but I guess that is what makes life interesting! It keeps us on our toes. Have a blessed day! Jane Foley NC PS I do collect stories, poems, etc and have all my life on certain subjects. I do have a nice collection genealogy related if anyone is interested in a list you can contact me privately. mjfent@bellsouth.net. I feel that this "trivia" (as some call it) only adds to my family history gives me a better understanding. *************************************************************** I was not offended by the " people in the box " poem and have been preaching the story for years and was really glad to recieve the poem. Of all the things to pick out to find not right on here makes me decide to unsubscribe to Howard County.
