One major clue we are missing is the age of her grandfather in 1927? Would he then be attending grade school, high school or the "O*** Technical Training" school?

Checking in for Moffat, Garfield, Summit, Ouray, and San Miguel Counties. I've been too busy mowing to work on the websites. Vikki Gray --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter. Get better travel answers from someone who knows. Yahoo! Answers - Check it out.

We instituted By-laws in New Jersey and it really makes things more clear and they weren't difficult at all. Janice had been put in the position of SC when Heather resigned. We put together a pretty good set of by-laws that provides for election procedures, etc. Then Janice wanted us to have an election and we voted her in as our SC. She is doing a great job. With my 36 years working in the legal field, I assisted in writing the by-laws and clarifying issues so they are straight forward and as clear as possible. And so far, we have had no issues in New Jersey. If you need my assistance in those, I would be glad to help, if that is something we end up doing. In the meantime, I need to find out where Leona is still mentioned on my pages! I think I got Mary Anne removed now! At least I hope so! Sorry, Sundee.

I don't know I guess it could be rewritten. I was posted on the Colorado site under the adoptions area. Anyone have any idea where we got it from or when it was placed there for the COGenWeb?

Don, Correct, I did not want to oppose any rule or bylaw or code. I will tell you it bothers me to see the word pornography on our web site. I wish it were removed. I agree about good behavior, too. But I also believe in hitting back. Just one of those personality quirks I have. The whole issue of State Guidelines really does not have to be an issue. For instance, when are we going to hold elections? If these things are written down and agreed upon, it sure makes things go more smoothly for everyone.

Don Stanwyck p.s., in the 10+ years I've been with CoGenWeb we have had numerous discussions on things like codes of conduct and they have always caused division in the ranks, more heat than light, and lots of hurt feelings.

What are the profanity words which are forbidden? 2. Do we really have to state we are against pornography on our COGenWeb home page? 3. Do these codes apply to CCs' private lives? 4. If a person tells another person they need to get Jesus in their life, is that considered a derogatory statement? (It implies to me that is a way of saying the person is an atheist or a Jew or a Buddhist or immoral or irreligious.) If a person says it's silly to want a vote, is that not a derogatory statement toward those who want a vote? 5. If a problem can not be resolved, what good does it do to go to the SC or ASC or anyone for that matter? 6. How did this code become adopted for COGenWeb? Was there a vote by the CCs or was it handed down from somewhere? Charles Barnum snip We, the COGenWeb Project volunteers, adhere to a strict code of conduct in our dealings with the public and with each other. We refrain from using any profanity on our web pages, in our emails, or on any list we may be on. We do not promote pornography. We do not use derogatory statements at any time. If we have a problem with anyone, we try to be as polite as possible, whether dealing with the public or with another volunteer. Whenever we have problems that cannot be resolved, we go to the SC or ASC for assistance. This is who we are, and who we intend to keep being!
