For those of you who are visiting graves in Howard County on Memorial Day: You could give a great gift to the Howard County researchers if you would take along your video camera, tape recorder or pen & paper and collect the information from the memorial stones/tombstones. You could donate this to the Howard County USGenWeb in memory of those you were visiting. [I am the contact person for that website and can be reached at howardcoin@bigfoot.com or the above address. ] Another idea, which came from another list and I am going to do: When you shop for those memorial flowers and wreaths for your own loved ones, pick up a couple of $1 bunches of flowers to place on those lonely graves where no flowers are placed? Do it for our fellow researchers who haven't found those graves yet. Do it for the family members who may not be close enough or healthy enough to do it. Do it for those who have long since gone but used to care for the graves. Do it, just because you're a family historian, and care about those who have passed before us. Do it, because it just feels good! Have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend. Floyd Bailey ========= I do plan on attending the Memorial Day ceremony at the Crown Point cemetery and will continue my tradition of taking pictures of & posting the memorial plaques of our veterans.
