Hi Jessica, Tremendous! What a terrific project and some great publicity, too. Like the others, I'd be interested in the details of the program fi you have a chance to pass them along. It was a pleasure to meet you at the IHS Cemetery workshop a few weeks ago - hope to see you again, soon! Kind regards, Corrie Corrie E.

Our first major field trip was Monday. The kids really loved it, mostly because of the research they did prior. It was neat to hear them find stones for the family they researched and get so excited! They then got to go through the whole restoration process on a couple of the family stones. Letting them see their progress from start to finish really made a difference. They were so proud of their work! We're planning another trip for a new batch of kids at the start of November, plus another around April. The community has really gotten into this and wants to keep it going. You can read the article the small town newspaper published. PLEASE--take it with a grain of salt....the reporter really took things I said liberally. I just kept shaking my head as I read it. Not quite an accurate picture...but the community won't know the difference. I'm just glad we're getting some publicity! http://www.flyergroup.com/story.asp?id=3394 _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
