Morning all, I didn't get much responses on having a picnic here next year. You know you are welcome here time of the year. Just give us a little notes, and the doors of the Historical Society will be open to you. I though it would be great if we picked a date each year, we could get together and have a picnic. We don't have to give it a name. Just think of it as a big old family reunion. Did you know that you now outnumber our local members almost two to one? We are planning on having a Web-Page for the Historical Society, up and running this coming year. I have been work on a project for about three years now. Our go was to identify every old house, cemetery, ferry crossing, tavern, mill site, and any other place of interest in the county. Here is the best part.. Everything has been identified on twenty five Topo Maps. You can pin point a site. If you have a GPS, so much the better. We have pictures and text to go with each site. You will no longer half to have a guide to take you to a old house are cemetery. I burn my first CD the other day for this project, and got it all on one disk. I did however discovered my old computer couldn't handle that much information. So I am building me a new one that will. Maybe that's why I like about computers so much, they get older a lot faster then I do. I have out lived about 6 or 8 of them now. George Dean is also working on this same project. He has the same setup on his computer. He and I have been work independent of each other, and that's good. We will combine our works this coming year. How we will distribute or publish is undecided at this time. But, I will tell you this, it will be a one great research tool. I thought about sending Shelia a CD, and letting her be our critic, but I can't find that gal. Has anyone heard from her? This is an on going project, and will take another year or so to complete, but we can start with what we have. I would estimate that we have about 3/4 of the site in Jessamine County identified. I may be sorry for doing this, but I will tell you what I will do. If you are planning on a trip to Jessamine County, tell me what area you are interested in and I will send you a map. Please only ask if you are planning a trip here. Clyde ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
