If you will remember, about a month ago we were talking about the obituary index cards in the Walsenburg Library and how best to copy those so we could get a full listing on our pages. We decided to take digital photos of them, burn them to a CD then send it to Louise for data entry. Well folks, all those cards have been filmed! Our volunteer, Dick Chenault, went to the library and discussed the project we had in mind with Monica Kirby, Library Director. Monica was so very cooperative and allowed Dick to photograph the cards. Dick found a photo stand at a yard sale that worked perfect for this project and he was off and running! He drove back and forth to Walsenburg until all the cards were done, all 11,000 of them. And you should see what a beautiful job he's done! We can zoom in on every photo to any size we need, and I haven't found one that I couldn't read. Dick needs a HUGE round of applause for this endeavor! Without him this project would have never gotten off the ground. Dick you are definitely our HERO! Dick wanted me to move his name to the end of the Contribution line on the page, but sorry Dick, without you, this wouldn't have happened. Louise is now busy typing her little fingers off to get all of the cards in a database so we can post it to the web. The A's have been posted at: http://www.kmitch.com/Huerfano/obitcardsa.html Each letter will be posted as it is completed. Louise wanted to get more done and online before I announced it, but geez, you know me, I get so excited, I couldn't wait. This is a project that Louise has dreamed of ever since she became our Tri-County Obituary Coordinator. Well sweetie, your dreams are being fulfilled, and we all owe you a HUGE round of applause also! THANK YOU Dick and Louise!!! Well after Dick got done filming all those cards, I guess he was having so much fun with his camera that we talked about filming the Gardner Protestant Cemetery. We set the date to do it for last Saturday. Dick invited a new volunteer along, John Trujillo. John has recently moved to Huerfano County and contacted me to offer to be a volunteer. I haven't met John yet, but I'm sure anxious to as Dick gives him rave reviews. A big welcome to John as our newest volunteer. So along came Saturday and I had to decline because of a back injury. Well that didn't stop "our guys". Dick seemed a little nervous about it because he's never filmed headstones before, and was sure he was going to do something wrong. But away they went, with John's sister and Dick's wife along to do the transcribing. Holy cow, they shot about 300 photos in just a few hours. Now that's what I call team work. And the photos I've received are beautiful! They plan to go again tomorrow to finish up. Do you people realize how long I've waited to get that cemetery filmed??!! YAHOO! THANK YOU Dick and John and your ladies! John I am so anxious to meet you and discuss further projects with you. I did get to meet Dick's wife Jan and she is a lovely lady. Dick is already discussing the possibilities of other projects he can film so come on members, give him some ideas. We don't want to let him cool off any... LOL. And for those of you that have Trujillo ties, please share them with John in appreciation of his work. John descends from Juan de Jesus Trujillo and Maria Benigna Valdez through their son, Castulo Trujillo. Maybe we could all discuss the Trujillo line here on the list, like we did the Wilkins line, that would be fun. Oh by the way, I just finished a research project on the Cortes line so if anyone here is related, let me know, will be happy to share with you. More great news around our Counties..... Dennis has added another 1,000 photos to Imperial cemetery in Pueblo. Dennis has been steadily filming over there since last February, and he's another one that we need to keep happy, so please send him a BIG thanks for all his work. Imperial now has over 5,000 photos online. Folks that's a LOT of work! Dennis also does look-ups for our out-of-town researchers. THANK YOU Dennis! JoAnn Harmon from Imperial cemetery called me last month and asked me to write an article for their Newsletter. If anyone wants to read it, let me know, I'll post it. It's very short. Sharon still wants to film more at Roselawn but for now has had to take a break because they are remodeling their home. Sounds like they have a major project going on. When she gets done she's going to come organize my office....shhh don't tell her I said that LOL. I finally got the remainder of the photos she sent online which was over 100. THANK YOU Sharon! Jean is still transcribing the digital newspapers and I have a ton of stuff from her that I need to get posted. Sorry it isn't done yet Jean, sure wish there were more hours in the day. Jean amazes me that she can contribute so much when she has little ones to keep up with. Was that 4 or 5? LOL Hmmm, maybe it was 4 with the 5th on the way? Or 5 with the 6th on the way? Okay just teasing, don't shoot! THANK YOU Jean for all your hard work. One of these days I'll catch up with you. I mean the work, not the little people. Let me make that perfectly clear. LOL. Robin has typed the Max and Lulu Valdez Oral History and you can read it at: http://www.kmitch.com/Huerfano/oral52.html It's a real interesting interview with a lot of local people mentioned. Robin had her work cut out for her when she started, there are 31 pages there! But she completed it in a very short amount of time and was so happy to contribute it to our website. THANK YOU Robin! We do appreciate your work. We can also congratulate Robin on becoming a Grammy for the first time on Oct. 16th. Congratulations, there's truly nothing like it! If you've missed our other Oral Histories you can find them listed here: http://www.kmitch.com/Huerfano/oralhist.html Someday I hope to have all of them online. That's going to be one of our projects this winter so start thinking which one YOU would like to type up and when I announce the project is ready to go you will get one you want to do. Jeff Arnold dropped by the other day and brought me some family photos that I can scan and put on our website. They are of the Levy and Blickhahn family. He also has a photo of Lila Rose Lawrence Singer that he's offering to give to the family of this lady. It's a great photo. THANK YOU Jeff, I'll get those scanned ASAP. Terry Patterson just contributed a great photo of the headstone of Nathan Cicero Patterson and Rhoda Jane Spears. Terry said: " thought you might want to know that Nathan C. Patterson and Rhoda Spears Patterson now have a marker in the Georgia Colony Cemetery. The stone was placed this summer and unveiled during the Patterson/Ownbey family reunion in LaVeta in July." THANK YOU Terry! I am always so happy to see or hear of headstones being placed for ancestors, I'm sure they are smiling down on their descendants, happy that they are still being remembered. For all of you that sent so many warm thoughts and prayers for my niece, Jenny, she is doing chemo now and when she's done with that she will start radiation and then be on a pill for about a year after that. She still needs your thoughts and prayers, as many of you know, chemo is certainly no fun. We are praying that she will make it through this and beat this cancer. Please keep her in your hearts. Nancy and Kevin are getting all settled in at their new home in Nova Scotia and sent me photos of their beautiful fall colors. They are just fantastic! Taylor just returned home from the emerald isle. So what's with this Tay? We haven't received a report yet! She even stayed in a castle! Actually she said I could go with her. She had it all figured out for me a chair on top the car. Oh and the plane couldn't stop here so she told the pilot to fly real low so I could just grab on. Actually I want you all to know that Taylor has threatened your favorite County Coordinator. Yep, she said if I don't behave she's going to send me a cotton candy machine for my grandkids!! Can you imagine? And here I thought she really liked me. LOL, just teasing you sweetie, but do tell us about your trip. Well that about wraps up this report........no wait, one more announcement. I was recently elected New Mexico 'State' Coordinator and will take office Jan 1st., God willing and the creeks don't rise (grin). Off to build more web pages....... Hugs to all! Karen

Hi list members, I went to the Post Office yesterday and was told that the cemetery entrances to both Brookside and Mt. Olivet had been destroyed. So the grandson and I grabbed the camera and went to investigate. It does not appear that any the stones have been broken or destroyed, they all seem to be in perfect order. But yes, the brick wall in front of Brookside had been knocked over and destroyed, and the wrought iron fencing and arch for Mt. Olivet was totally mangled. I asked the person that seemed to be in charge and he was very curt and rude and refused to tell me if it was an accident or vandalism. He also told me that they already had enough photos. But you know me, I took some anyway. Later all he would say is that someone had plowed into the wall and wrought iron. Well that was pretty obvious! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure this person was just upset by the whole incident and didn't mean to show his anger about it, or be rude. The wrought iron was mangled beyond repair. I still don't know for certain if this was vandalism or just that someone had lost control of their vehicle, but I think it was an accident. Hopefully we will find out more soon. Again, I want to assure you that all the stones are intact, so we don't need to worry about that. Will keep you posted on whatever I find out. Karen

Then I went to file at the top and clicked on New which gave me a new folder that I named PAF photos. So the path is C:\PAF photos You can name your photos whatever you want so I used numbers starting with 00001. This will give me 5 digits to work with and I hope I never have that many! This numbering system will allow me to have 99,999 photos. Put all the photos in your folder called PAF photos. You need to keep a list of the name of the photo and what it is. Mine will look like this: 00001 John Doe 1946 00002 Mary Doe headstone etc. Now go into your PAF program. Go to an individual window of a person that you have a photo for by double clicking on that persons name. Then click on the camera icon on the right. A new window will pop up, click on Add. You have to put in the path for that individual's photo such as: C:\PAF photos\00001 Then you can and a description of the photos and a caption if you like. For a headstone photo, in the description box I put Headstone, then in the caption I put the inscription on the stone. I know this sounds really complicated but once you do it, you will find it's a snap to add photos. As usual, the explanation sounds harder than the actual "doing". If you run into any problems let me know. Good luck with your project.
