Yes, we have discussed the missing markers/headstones and more. That is one of the projects we would like to do. But, we have to depend on volunteers to do about 95% of the work in the Archives and other projects. So when the number of volunteers is low, many projects stay in the planning stage for long periods of time. It is hard to keep up with all the programs and projects already started, during the summer months because the number of volunteers falls sharply. Right now, there is one paid employee and one volunteer to be a tour guide in the museum, assist in genealogical research, keep the office open, and much, much more. >From: "Jean Crane" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [MSTISHOM-L] PHOTOS >Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 13:18:35 -0500 > >I would like to participate with old photos and photos of cemetery >headstones.
