I do think you have really spent a lot of time and I appreciate what you've done. I'm hoping to get out and get a little Physical Therapy after the next surgery to have the two screws that are coming out put back in, in Jan. Of course I said that about my last surgery in June. I do have a gal in Castle Rock who's eager to get out and help me too.

Please forward to all appropriate USGenWeb Project lists. Tina Vickery National Coordinator USGenWeb Project --- Call for Volunteers The Grievance Committee of USGENWEB hereby formally requests candidates for the positions of Mediator and Arbitrator. Candidates should have past experience in their personal or professional lives that reflects the following attributes: (1) An even disposition (2) Reliability and timeliness (3) An ability to suspend judgment and distance themselves from their own views in order to hear other points of view (4) An ability and willingness to propose solutions that are fair, equitable and consistent with the policies and philosophy of the Project (5) Good basic communication [writing by e-mail] skills and an ability to compromise and get along with others. Interested individuals should send the following information to Bob Sweeney, Chairman, Grievance Committee at bobs@chall.com, with the phrase "Mediator/Arbitrator Candidate" in the subject line. Bob will then forward the submitted material in confidence to the other Committee members for review and selection. The necessary information is: (1) Your name (2) Your e-mail address (3) Your current position(s), if any, in the USGENWEB Project or an affiliated Special Project, or any similar genealogy project (4) A brief statement of why you believe you would be qualified for this kind of volunteer position. Note that a candidate does not have to be currently in a formal position in the field of genealogical research, but that such experience certainly helps. If selected, a Mediator will be asked to help facilitate disputes which are being heard by a designated Member of our Grievance Committee, listen to evidence and arguments from the disputing parties, develop and propose solutions, and provide a logical rationale for their proposals. An Arbitrator will serve when mediation has been unsuccessful, will engage the parties with the same disposition as the Mediator, but will also be empowered to propose a binding final solution in accordance with Project procedures. The positions are not mutually exclusive in that a trained Mediator or Arbitrator may be asked to serve in either capacity as necessity and the nature of any particular grievance dictates. Training and guidance from the Grievance Committee members will be provided. The Committee will be reasonable in its requests and time expectations of appointed Mediators and Arbitrators. Sincerely, Bob Sweeney Chair, Grievance Committee bobs@chall.com

Scott Don't limit it to just the Genealogy/Family History badge. Many Eagle Scout candidates have documented old cemeteries in Colorado and other states for their Eagle public service projects. The USGenWeb Archives, the Archives Tombstone Photo Project, the Tombstone Transcription Project and local libraries/government have all benefited from their research, stone transcriptions and photographs. A local Eagle Scout candidate's project documented locations of veterans graves in almost a dozen cemeteries for the area service organizations who place flags on the graves. Lee ----- Part of Original Message ----- From: "Scott Scheibe" <dsscheibe@earthlink.net> ...... I have some contacts with the LDS church there and have thought I could put the idea forth that the Boy Scouts could do it as a service project and get their Genealogy/Family History merit badge. .............

I have updated the Jefferson County site, removing my name and that of Terry Imbach, as I have not heard from her in months, even after offering the county to Terry. I previously had indicated the county is up for adoption and believe that has been updated on the state site. However, I have now placed that same information on the county's main page. Thank so much. Denise **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products. (http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007?NCID=aoltop00030000000001)

Hi, I had a boy scout from an LDS unit that was doing that but I haven't heard from him lately. Maybe I should check and see how he's doing. I'm sure your local LDS church can help you find a troop where you need it done in.

Jan, G - Gravestone P - Photo P - Project CO GPP http://coloradogravestones.org Karen, Guess I was tired last night but what I was trying to tell you that we finally got all of Pueblo Co. up and now we have to clean up the files. I wouldn't want you to say that you had anything to do with that mess. I would duck my head and run before I let someone know that I did what that person did. If you want to administer your own county, I can send you an invite and you accept the invite and you form your own password and user ID so that you can log into your county[s] if you chose to do multiple counties. Gail

Sorry, a side note here. Did you know if you put the photos in your photo program (I use Paint Shop Pro) and reverse them, like a negative, oftentimes you can make out even some of the smallest details and be able to read the names. Karen

Hi Gail, You said that Karen submitted 2800 photos. I didn't want to get kudos, knowing I didn't deserve them :) I went into the Pueblo site and saw how many duplications there are. I don't know how to access the site to edit anything in order to help. Maybe you can explain that to all of us so you can get some help on this.

Jan, I sure don't want to add the photos to the site, I would sure hope that you would do this in your spare time. ;-)) That is the way the site has been set up so that the photographer can submit their work to the project. But, after the photographer submits their work someone has to approve all those submissions and that is what we have been doing in Pueblo Co. Trying to get them approved and cleaned up for public viewing. That takes a lot of time too on this end so that is why we asked help from the county coordinators to try and handle their counties if they wanted too. It was not something that they HAD to do.

Hi Gail and all, Karen who? I haven't submitted any photos to GPP at all.

Bill is our hero in this project. Last summer this unknown person started submitting photographs to Pueblo County. I will say, I have never seen such a mess in my whole life as what we had and are not done with yet in Pueblo County. This person submitted over 2500 photographs and with my stupid dial-up in Colorado it took me forever to get one picture approved. I would get 200 approved and they would load another 300 and I felt like I was in a race but running backwards. They took a big "dig" at Jim Davenport and in their remarks put "as good as Woodmen of the World". All that had to be removed off each picture and I am afraid that I loaded some pictures and those remarks are still on there as it took me a bit to figure out what was going on and that it was a "dig" at Jim. I [Bill] have [has] all but one picture left in the folder and I can't read the last name on the stone so I believe it would be better to delete the file rather than make hash out of the name. There has been enough of that already, Bill has about 57 pictures in the deleted file that need to be cleaned up or deleted permanently. It has taken us since last summer to get these files approved and Sundee, myself and Bill have worked on this county. Pueblo County, Karen is second in the pack in submissions with over 2,800 and Elbert Co. leads with over 2,900. I haven't been able to get all my pictures loaded to the site that I took this summer because of this mess with Pueblo Co. SOOOOOOOO, with the volunteers that we have that have access to Pueblo Co. we can start weeding out the duplications as I know there are many. Karen, when you are up to it and have some spare time [ ;-)) ] maybe you can start cleaning out the duplications. This person didn't think that women counted in this project so all the women had surnames of "Unknown". Do you have any idea how many Unknown Mary's or Josephine's we had. We had to clean up the unknown and at least give the women her married name. When we get to cleaning up the files so we don't have duplications let's assign a certain part of the alphabet for each of us to work on and when we finish with that letter come back for another one. We are getting nearer the holiday season and I know that every one's life is a little hectic at this time but if you have a spare minute or two give us a hand. We have 19, 596 photographs submitted to the project and that is way low compared to Nebraska and Nebraska was started long after Colorado. If you are "snowed" in and have nothing better to do submit your gravestone pictures to the site. I have been seeing pictures all day coming in from Buena Vista and they are pushing and easy three feet of that white fluffy stuff. Oh, how I miss the snow and those kind of days when it is gloomy and snowing to beat the band. We had strong winds today and rain started this evening. That means that the desert will have a very colorful bloom this spring. OR, our front yard will have a very big growth of weeds....they are already sprouting. Again, on behalf of the Colorado GenWeb, we thank you, Bill, for helping us out of a mess and appreciate every minute that you spent helping.
