Please forgive the intrusion. This is going to sound like I am patting myself on the back, but since I'm the only one who can post to this list ... there's no other way to do it. Bill Utterback, an outstanding researcher and friend has asked me to forward this to you. The rest is up to you and again ... sorry! Sandi >From: Bill Utterback <billco@ARN.NET> >Last year, when I was fortunate enough to receive the Kentucky Genealogical >Society's Award for Outstanding Contributions to Genealogy for the Western >Region of Kentucky, I responded to a message on this List about my >selection, posted by our List Host, Sandi Gorin, in which I said that I >would be in touch with all of you again in 2001 when the KGS opened >nominations for the awards for that year. That time has now arrived. > >I have this week nominated Sandi Gorin to receive the 2001 Award for the >Central Region of Kentucky. I need not recount here the reasons why she >should have received this Award long ago. Her tireless work, covering >thousands of hours over the past 6 years on the Internet - and many years >before that in other genealogical venues - have enriched all of us. Her >data posts, the bios and research tips, her editing work on genealogical >newsletters and her column in a local newspaper - all of these - and much >more - make her the ideal candidate for this Award. > >The nomination alone, however, will not secure the Award for Sandi. >Letters of support for her nomination are also needed. I hope - and I'm >confident - that the subscribers to this List - and to the other Lists >which she hosts - will respond to this request for such support material by >the hundreds, and will flood the KGS with these letters of support. > >The approach needs to be twofold: a snail mail letter of support should be >sent to the following address: > >Kentucky Genealogical Society >P.O.Box 153 >Frankfort, KY 40602-0153 > >This letter must be postmarked no later than *15 July* to be considered. > >Simultaneously(in addition to, but not in place of, the snail mail letter), >I would also suggest that an e-mail be sent to the President of the KGS, Al >Alfaro, with the same message of support. His e-mail address is: > >AAlfaro99@aol.com > >Let's all pull together and do this for Sandi - she has done so much for us >over these years. > >If there are questions, you can e-mail me privately and I will be happy to >respond. > > -Bill Utterback >============================================================================ >== > > >==== SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY Mailing List ==== > > >
