Hello All, Some of you may have already seen this, but I feel it is important enough to make sure our mailing list memebers are aware of it. If you live in the Atlanta area, or even if you do not, you probably have heard of, and benefitted from, Ken Thomas' genealogy column in the Atlanta Journal & Constitution. It has run for 26 years, and has been *the* means by which genealogists in the Atlanta area get their genealogy news. At events where participants are asked where they heard about the event, 90 percent consistently cite Ken Thomas' column. The AJC is threatening to cancel the column, citing budget cuts, although the stipend is quite small. The AJC editor has said that, if response is great enough, they will not cut the column. This column is very important to genealogists. *Please* write or call editor Mike Lupo. Mike Lupo at 404-526-5487 mlupo@ajc.com When you write, or call the AJC, please include the information that you are subscribers. When I sent my message, I told them that the column was one of the reasons I bought the Atlanta paper. Without that, there was no need for me to purchase it. If they think and understand economics, then they may understand losing subscribers and those that purchase the paper. Wyndell Taylor List Manager
