I knew I would forget someone when listing the activities of our LCGS members and thanking them. Without Mary Louise Phillips, there would have been no Keck Funeral Home Record Book at the Heritage Center or online Keck Funeral Home Index that was added this past year. Mary Louise is also our Treasurer and handles your membership forms and makes sure I have your addresses to update our newsletter mailing list. And yes, she does do research for some of you. Mention a task and Mary Louise is there with a helping hand. Eleanor Jones has also done research, served as co-editor of the newsletter this past year, worked diligently on military records for both the Historical Society and the newsletter. Was instrumental in getting the newspapers microfilmed in previous years. She, too, would like to take it a bit easier on the research end and finish her own research. We all know what Keith and Connie have done over the years in all aspects of the LCGS. It is now time for the rest of us to pull together and let Keith get the rest he needs. Keith will continue to do some research at the Keck Library and the Courthouse, both of which are very close to his home but he won't be venturing out on the lengthier trips to the Heritage Center for some time. After the holidays, if you have research needs, we have other members who will help as time permits. If everyone does a little bit we get a LOT DONE. And don't hesitate to become a member of LCGS if you aren't already. The Internet has now made it easier for distant members to become acquainted with one another and to participate further. Norma
