ROME -- Mike Flannigan wrote me to say that he couldn't get to my Rome article http://www.staff.smsu.edu/j/jab885t. Mike's been around, and I know he has an Adobe Acrobat Reader on his computer, so I'm quite concerned. Mike, did the link not work, or was it that you couldn't download the file once you got to the site? Others of you, please help us out by going to the link and report any problems you have-I'm wanting to use that site for distribution of documents from time to time, and I need to understand any and all problems. Mike, try one more time, and if it doesn't work, send me your mailing address (privately, of course), and I'll mail you a hard copy. That goes for anyone else who can't get to the article electronically. FALLING SPRING -- Oh, Mike and Jerry Rathmann took us through a nice conversation about Falling Spring in Douglas County a few months back. We had talked about using some of that material in the Summer 2004 issue of the Douglas County Historical Journal. Mike and Jerry, I've been meaning to tell you two that we just didn't have room with that issue. We're limited to 40 pages plus the 'civer' and earlier commitments filled it up. It's still in the hopper, though. More about that later. EMAIL -- One last thing - today, a couple of correspondents have told me that email messages to me yesterday bounced back to them. It must have been an SBCYahoo! problem I guess. In any case, I'm adding a secondary email address to my signature below. It is monitored daily as well. MT ARARAT -- Mike, thanks for the Mt. Ararat map. I was curious about that original query, and you've shed some light on it. Site coordinators like myself are not expected to do lookups, and I truly and honestly don't have the time - but I went to my file cabinet where I have a set of Pat Carmichael's cemetery books that she created for the Douglas County Historical & Genealogical Society. Mt. Ararat Cemetery is in her volume 4 that covers the eastern portion of the county (that's consistent with Mike's map). Her reading of the 1993 cemetery reading had the Mt. Ararat church existing at that time. Also, that cemetery is probably covered in Laine Sutherland's "Gone But Not Forgotten" book of eastern Douglas County cemeteries. Got to run - it's 8:08 a.m. here -- my day's agenda is full and I have high hopes what the day brings! May yours be a good one too.
