Dear group, I want to share the wonderful day I had today. I was invited to a 175th church anniversary in the next county. This church has the community cemetery right on their property. Some of the members have learned this year how to straighten the old stone and epoxy them together. They had a cemetery walk after the service today. Many members were dressed in period costumes representing their ancestors or the early founders. It was really heartwarming to see the members of this church take the time to honored the early founders and pioneers of their church and show the members that progress could be made with a little time and interest in the old stones. And save their history! Wonderful day! I'm happy to report our group has learned to reset stone in their own buried bases. It takes time to learn each step. But we are making progress. I feel good we have learned a few more steps. There are so many to work on and we hope to be able to set up a few workdays in at least 2 township next year and continue to teach some the basic. The link shows some of the progress we've made this year. And with some weather luck, we will still finish a few others this fall. http://communities.msn.com/Tippycems/shoebox.msnw?Page=1 All for now, L. A.
