Jo, we have had recent correspondence, so you know how much I have appreciated all your contributions to the Stone County site. I am really sorry to see you go, when you have put your heart and soul into transcribing, posting, monitoring, and administering - but, I do understand. The Stone County site exists largely because of you and a handful of other volunteers. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If you ever reconsider please come back. I figure I am either related to or connected to every family who was residing in Stone County in 1860. So, kin, connection or just plain friend, you deserve accolades from every person who has benefited from your contributions. Shannon Butler Ventuleth Fallbrook, CA

I would like to add my Thanks Jo. You have been very helpful with looking up info for me also. The amount of work you have done for Stone County is priceless. I just wish someone would step forward in another Missouri county and transcribe just part of the material you have completed for Stone County, MO.
