Art, I hope everything went well at your re-cleaning of Little Flock. At least the Rain stopped and we had sun all Day. I was coming down and go clean some at old St. Peters, but I had to much to do. Hope Little Flock was not grown up to bad. I was going to stop, but never even got that far. I did go out to Saint Mary's of the Knobs and removed the Clamp and cleaned the 3 little spots off that ran under the Duct tape. I also lightly cleaned the stone, also tell your wife, the Stone next to the repair we did on Her Great Grand ? stone, the one that she cleaned a little bit on, I cleaned it up and it is not Gray Marble or Granite. It is a very light White stone with very small reddish brown spots in it. A real pretty Stone. The color really came out on the wide top with MOTHER written on it. I forgot my camera today, but I will get photos in the next week or so and send them to Her. I also may, before it gets to cold, go out and Repair the other 2 broken stones. I looked, they were broken this summer by Maintenance. By the way, Hornets were out around 3:00 this evening, hope not down there in Harrison Co. Later, Jack E.

Hi Jack Many, Many Thanks! I really appreciate the help you give in repairing the old stone and also for going the extra mile to clean the other. We had a very hard but very satisfying weekend at Little Flock. Really sorry you were unable to stop by. Things there are going as scheduled. We wanted to give the grass we seeded a couple of years to root well before we started to mow it as the rocky soil is so hard on that ridge. And, it didn't disappoint us. We had dry, gone to seed grass, two feet tall. But, when we cut it down, it was bright green on the bottom and well rooted. I guess that means we will now have to mow the cemetery monthly next year in order to get it ready for 2003. The last I heard, the Lewis & Clark Heritage Foundation is planning to place a memorial there for John Shields in 2003. So, I guess I best work hard next year to finish getting the grass in tip top shape! :-) By the way, no hornets down our way. Again, Many Thanks from both Rene and I.
