Where do you go to college and who is your teacher? I did my speech on this very same topic back in June. I ended up getting good marks. I used pictures from various websites (and gave credit of course) on over heads as well as telling about state law. My speech was more along the lines of, "There needs to be more done" maybe not laws, but at least certain counties doing what they are supposed to do. What's funny is my teacher was the daughter of one of my counties (Hancock) county council members. This was a hugh topic back then. I got a decent grade overall and she really liked my story. Not sure if she shared it with her dad or not. I must say, I never brought up problems with that county. Just showed pictures of broken and vandalized stones. ryan On Thu, 8 Nov 2001, Tim and Sabrina wrote: > Hello all, > > First off let me start off by saying, that my husband and I are quite active in documenting and transcribing information from the cemeteries in our area, and if the need is there, performing simple repairs to stones. I am also a college student and I am going to use my speech class as a way to educate people of the need to help with preserving our pioneer cemeteries. However, I need some help. If any of you out there can help me or tell me where I can find the answers, I would appreciate it. > Is there any way I can find out just how many cemeteries have been moved, disturbed , or even destroyed, in say, the past 10 years or so. I would really like to have some numbers to convey to my fellow students the great need there is to help preserve these cemeteries. > Thanks for any help you can give me! > Sabrina > > > ==== INPCRP Mailing List ==== > If you know of some good cemetery related links, send them to LoisMauk@usa.net. > >
