    1. Re: [KYBUTLER] In light of website move concerns
    2. The light blue on the dark blue works fine. I'm not sure what it is about the red it is just hard to read. Thanks again ?Beverly Hodges -----Original Message----- From: Pat Mims <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 13 Mar 2008 9:00 pm Subject: Re: [KYBUTLER] In light of website move concerns Alice, I think if you stick to black and white where names are concerned it will be easier to read. I also had a problem reading some of the cemetery lists. Thanks for all you do.
