First I apologize for not responding sooner - I have been a little under the weather this week and have not kept up with things as I should have. I would greatly appreciate it if this "Prayer Chain" thread would end now. Pat is a wonderful person who is always willing to look up information for anyone who asks and while this list may not have been the most appropriate place to post the "Prayer Chain" I feel certain it was done only with the best of intentions. The Pike Co list is one of the best lists I have ever been a member of and this type of thread is rare and I would like to keep it that way. I do not like to see lists with rules regarding what can and cannot be posted and as the list manager for ILPIKE I have no intentions of doing that with this list. All I ask is that everyone get along and help each other in their search and try to keep the posts relevant to our research. However, from this point on I would greatly appreciate it if when you see a post that you do not feel should have been posted please bring your concerns to me privately instead of sending them to the list. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Have a wonderful evening, Barbara Freeman ILPIKE List Manager Pike Co ILGenWeb County Coordinator
