    3. I was told on Face Book the other day that my name was mentioned in a book. This person said they went to the museum in Denver and in the gift shop bought the book, *Here Lies Colorado, Fascinating Figures in Colorado History*. The book was written by Richard E. Wood and was printed in 2005. That was 7 years ago and I am just finding out that my name was used. On page 14 in the book it says, "Most of the people who made Colorado what it is today are memoriallized by a physical marker, or at least a location, marking their life and passing. Many are still remembered and honored by later genearations of their family or friends. Visit a cemetery and you will usually find visitors tidying up, placing flowers, or perhaps bringing a small folding chair and just sitting in the sun beside their friends or loved ones. Thinking, remembering, smiling, weeping. You may also find people like Gail Meyer Kilgore, a member of the Colorado Tombstone Transcription Project. The goal of these "digital graveyard" projects, which have counterparts across the world................ I just thought I would share this with you. Gail
