It is ok, as you said if the Calendars are in good taste, but to use them in this manner makes me shudder. I have fought for years to save them, I have yet to see much humor in the year and a half I spent hunting down and recording the cemeteries in Floyd Co. The Calendars done in a "Tasteful Manner" is OK. I'm for it, but lets leave the type of pictures planned out of them. Like Sue says Honor the Dead, Please don't make fun of them even if it is light hearted. [email protected] Jack E Briles Sr Floyd Co. Coordinator INPCRP New Albany, In. (812)282-6585
