I am not sure how this will look as an e-mail on the posting board, (I copied our flyer and tried to fit this format) - but I wanted to invite anyone that is interested in attending this event, which will be this Sunday at 2:30 pm. We were lucky that one of the funeral homes in New Castle is donating the monument and things necessary to conduct this dedication. Catherine Winters would have 100 years old this year, but she vanished without a trace when she 9 years old. She never had any kind of funeral service because they never found her body. I am hoping that we attract a large attendance, and create more awareness about our Cemetery Commission.

I am new to Indiana and in INPCRP for not too long having moved from Nashville, TN. Could I be given the back story on her story -I am not familiar with it ? Thanks, Larry Leahy -Muncie(Delaware County)

My wife and I saw the local 10p ABC Indy station news last night(10/11/04) -we were quite pleased with the footage and thought it was a great PR piece on the sentence given to the man who was convicted of doing malicious damage. Did anyone else see it? I am curious as to how everyone received it--we thought it was--I especially thought the footage of the damage was educational to the public and to those who supervise our cemeteries. I live in Muncie and have a brand new Husquvarna chain saw(2- cycle) I would love to bring some weekend day to a group and let them use it if for moderate use they have someone who is skilled with a big one and then take it back home with me- I haven't had time to get instruction on it yet -but yet it is sitting in my basement. Is it ok for me to group these two subject together or should I separate them in the future. I prayed when I was in Nashville to be able to come to Indiana and be part of y'all. I then shortly married a BSU professor and moved here from Tennessee. It is good to be here. Larry Leahy 765-744-6633 cell anytime Muncie (Delaware County)

Some time ago, I asked INPCRP members for leads on a book I was working on that will be filled with photos of Southern Indiana's cemetery statuary. Many of you were quite helpful, for which I am very thankful, and I am now pleased to announce that the book is finished--and is available if you would like a copy. The title is Guardians of the Soul: Angels and innocents, mourners and saints--Indiana's remarkable cemetery sculpture, and there is information about the book, and some sample images at: http://www.studioindiana.com/bookGS.html If you would like to own a copy of Guardians of the Soul, it is only $22 (+$1.32 IN sales tax), and we are currently providing autographed copies, at no extra charge--and, for a limited time, we are offering free shipping. -- John Bower The Healthy House Institute is at http://www.hhinst.com/ John's photography is at http://www.studioindiana.com/
