Thanks, Bon, so if they will respond to queries, I guess we ought to have their phone # at the WFGL, so they can call them, huh?? "Annually" is too long to wait for the update, cuz people call us at any time. OK, Thanks. Do you have their phone number to call?

Would not want to give out a phone number. I think it would be courteous to ask them if receiving phone calls would work for them. They will see this e-mail because I've cc'd them, but are not members of the List. Best to e-mail them directly and ask if they will accept phone calls. As you might imagine, finding an obit in the thousands of obits is a real Herculean task. It isn't something that can be done during the timespan of a phone call. But, let them decide and while you are at it, give them a great big thank you for all that work!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Evan Strohl" <estrohl@cox.net> To: <fl-wfgs@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 9:06 AM Subject: Re: [FL-WFGS] Obits? > Thanks, Bon, so if they will respond to queries, > I guess we ought to have their phone # at the WFGL, > so they can call them, huh??

Bon, I believe I was being somewhat facetious when I suggested a phone number---I don't even think they would want someone calling them---at will, nor would I. The point I was making was that if the WFGL gets a phone call, and we DO, for an obit back in, say, last October, and they don't have the date, which is likely, do we have a way to help them? We always ask for an exact date---and the library staff asks them the same, so the reason for my original question was to know if anyone is doing current obits, THAT ARE INDEXED, so that 2 months, or 8 months in the past, we can easily look up an obit, i the recent past, for someone. Absent this capability, we SHOULD have someone indixing the obits---it IS one area that we are lacking. A couple of ladies have recently come to the library and asked for a project to keep them busy. And this obit question keeps coming to mind. And a question for Dean---does your office look up obits without knowing a date? If so, my point is moot. I now know you have all those papers, which is wonderful---are the obits indexed? Thanks for you answers. Evan And I DO appreciate what the REEDYs are doing, and have done, for us. Thank you REEDYs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bonnie Griffis Lewis" <griffle@cox.net> To: <fl-wfgs@rootsweb.com> Cc: "Carolyn Reedy" <indigo5@cox.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 10:58 AM Subject: Re: [FL-WFGS] Obits? > Would not want to give out a phone number.
