Wayne: Thank You for keeping me updated on the meetings. I appreciate all the hard work you and your colleague's do for us little people. If it wasn't for the Historical Society there in Itawamba County I would have never been able to get all the infro I have on my ancestors. I visited Tupelo and Fulton last winter and enjoyed meeting some of the members and got to attend one of your meetings. I enjoyed it so much that I became a member myself (long distance member that is). On the topic of Cemetery Experiences by Mary Wages could you send me the tips she had on "Ways to Clean Headstones". I notice when I visit different cemeteries there are headstones that are not readable.
