Morning Shelia & All, The other day I went into the Jessamine County Courthouse to do a little research. I walked into the County Clerks office, only to find some of the early Deed Books were gone. After looking a bit closer, I also found some of the Court Order Books were missing. Needless to say, I panic. After inquiring about, I discovered the old books had been sent to Frankfort to be laminated and rebound. This is good. We have had a lot mixed emotions about these old books. We loved all the attention you and the others had shown to Jessamine County and it's old records. But, on the other hand, we knew they would not withstand a lot of handling. Some of this paper in these old books is over 200 years old. It was made in an old paper mill, not far from where I live. Our taught and concerns about these old books were expressed to Eva McDaniel, our County Clerk. She went before Jessamine Co., Fiscal Court and ask for the funding for this project. Her request was granted, and the work has started. I keep asking you to thank to folks here for all there work. I feel it very important they know we see what they are doing. We are ever so quick to jump our elected officials when they do thing wrong. But, we very seldom thank them when they do things right. I wonder why? People like Eva, and the members of Fiscal Court are going beyond the call of duty to help us. You all played a big part in this being done, so less follow up on this and e-mail these folk and tell them what we think of the work they are doing. Address your e-mail to George Deen. He will see that it gets to the proper place. You can request your e-mail to be sent to Eva McDaniel, or the Fiscal Court. George's address is: [email protected] I have ask Kathy Hall our Secretary to post the minutes from our last meeting. I will also post the final agenda for the Fest in a few days. See you in a few weeks. Clyde ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!
