Congratulations on sticking up for your column. I no longer get it since I left Georgia. I am interested in the new archives in Atlanta and plan to visit there this summer. Would it be possible for you to email me a copy of the column on the new archives.

(they surrendered after only 23 hrs, not bad, shorter than the Iraqi conflict)..... When I told them I had sent out only ONE email, he said you have a "heck of a network" and of course I wondered what institution would not think that any group worth their salt would not have a NETWORK and subnetworks etc. I mean, maybe the Pet of the Week who shares my page with me may not have his/her troops in order, but the GENEALOGISTS AND HISTORIANS have pulled through and saved the day (my favorite quote from the only cartoon movie my family owned- Mighty Mouse- who came to SAVE THE DAY and you all have done it. I would appreciate it, and the AJC asked, that I ask anyone who has sent out their own email to subnetworks, to write them back and announce the continuation and that no more emails or voice mails be left at the newspaper. I have printed out the letters of support if we need them in the future. So I ask that now. Some of you are getting two emails of this ilk today, but better two than none. Now we can have an e-celebration of sorts. (and say a prayer for the Pet of the Week) thanks for all of your help in this matter. Remember the State Archives reopens next Tuesday, May 6, with a reception the night before by the Taylor Foundation. from 3-6. I now will be able to write up the new archives for my May 18 column.
