Dear Jerry: Is this to say that the monthly meeting for October, which would normally be held on Wednesday, October 22, will be held, instead on Saturday, October 25 at Mount Tamalpais cemetery? This time of year, as you mentioned, it will be dark earlier. I would think that either morning to early afternoon, or noon to 4 would be better than 1-5 pm. If I understand, the purpose of the meeting/outing will be to transcribe and photograph monument inscriptions to publish as a fund raiser for the Society? And part of the time will be a demonstration of tombstone rubbing, etc. Questions: a) Do you have an idea of the number of burials at this cemetery? b) How many transcribers, computer or otherwise will be needed to do this project in 4 hours? c) Is it expected that the project be completed in the 4 hour window or is that the purpose of digital photos of the stones -- to complete the transcriptions at a later time? d) Will there be recordation of only names and dates, or rather a full transcription of the stones? (others have said in the past that they prefer full transcription) I will mark my calendar for Saturday, October 25, 2003 and can bring my digital camera to assist with photographing the stones. I hope to see as many members and helpers as possible join in this ambitious and worthwhile project! Happy Trails, Lauren
