I sincerely hope that before the HCGS goes to an "on-line" Newsletter, we have a very thorough discussion --- maybe even a VOTE. Just for the record, I very much prefer holding the newsletter in my hand -- the way it is SUPPOSED TO BE! Lee Roland Jenkins

Has anyone ever discussed publishing the HCGS newsletter online? I know I wouldn't mind receiving mine that way. I realize there are some who are not online - but the savings in printing & mailing might be worthwhile. We could put a significant amount of money to other uses. HCGS members could access the newsletters in a "members only" archives at our website. Members could then copy and paste items of interest to our own computer files. For example, sometimes HCGS publishes marriage records sections-at-a-time. If these were published online, we could paste 'em as we get 'em in one convenient file. Just a thought.... <Sharon><

I woke up this morning alive, so I am headed to the meeting in WV, It is about 105 miles, or 2 easy hours from Pittsburgh. Jim Consider each day a gift.

At least we know the newsletters are still out there and being delivered. What is amazing people with a Bridgeport, WV 26330 which is only about 1 mile from the bulk mailing plant still haven't received theirs. We'll wait until the first of next week and if you don't have it by then, we will mail you another. It hasn't gotten to Colorado yet either. How about up in Washington, Oregon and Alaska?

Thanks, Ruby, for letting folks know our happiness and gratitude for Jessica's rescue. Many prayers did that, I am convinced. I have her parents' email address and had written to them right after her disappearance. They answered back, thankful and appreciative of all the thoughts and prayers for their brave little daughter - A true Mountaineer! Patti

Ruby; I will have a long talk with Marvin and see what the problem was since I was there at 3:30 till 12:00pm!

I think March just was a bad month for newsletters. I still don't have my Marion Co. "Gleanings " for March yet. Told their copy machine had problems. Jean Smith

Besides the beautiful sunrise, the birds singing and the flowers blooming, West Virginians has a lot to be thankful for this day. The resuce of Jessica Lynch one of our military women with the Army serving in Iraq. What a daring rescue that was and we certainly need to stand behind all of the service men and women that are fighting this war. May God Bless America and America Bless God.

John, Marvin was given those newsletters about 2:30 in the afternoon. Jerry has the receipt and it probably has the exact time on it. In December he got you right on them but some other lady brought bulk mail the same time I did and it was all put on one cart and she had scads of it. I just had the four bags. Does anyone with a Bridgeport, 26330 have their newsletter yet? I talked to one lady yesterday and she still didn't have hers. Just keep letting me know and if you don't get one I can bring some home with me on Friday from the meeting and get them out to you next week. Thanks for being so patient and the mailmen we have in our little group does us a fantastic job. We are proud of them.
