Dear Mr. Kempf,\ Please accept my apologies for not responding to you sooner. However, I've been doing some research regarding this issue. However, I hope the it was worth the wait because I good news! I spoke with Stephen Berrey just a few minutes ago. Stephen is the Marker Program Coordinator with the Indiana Historical Marker Program at the Indiana Historical Bureau. It appears that things are really moving along. The Indiana Historical Marker Program - Indiana Historical Bureau (IHB) received a completed application from Perry Township Trustee Jack Sandlin in March 2006. In addition, the Trustee's Office sent a check on March 14th to the IHB to cover the cost of the marker. On March 16th, the IHB sent a receipt to the Trustee's Office. The IHB now has all necessary information and everything is paid for. Currently, the IHB is designing the sign, which will then be sent to their sign manufacturer for production. Total time for sign design and production usually ranges from 6-8 months. So, right now, not much can be done except to wait -- but the hard part is done! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Have a great weekend! All the best, Emily Emily C.
