Dear Sir It has been brought to my attention that Barbara Dix is to be "let go" due to budget cuts. PLEASE, please do not do this . Barb is an asset to your county in regards to the knowledge she has. I went to Oswego looking for links to my past & low and behold I was given a treat I never expected from a person in her position. She is the most knowledgeable person I have ever come across in searching genealogy in many a day. I have been doing genealogy for over 25 years. You can ask her a question and the answer is 99% of the time right at her finger tips or knows where it is. She was able to answer questions I had about my family that is not found in files or books (1885 time frame). She made my trip enjoyable and well worth the time and money I spent in your city. I was made to feel welcome and she went out of her way to assist me in any way she could. So please reconsider your options re; budget cuts. Letting Barbara Dix go is one option you can not afford take as it would be a major error on your part.. She is so well known for her kindred spirit in the genealogy world, here in Canada as well as the U.S.A.and around the world.

Carol's letter is a good example of what I suggested in my other e-mail. Carol, tell 'em how much you spent in the community on that wonderful trip. (Even if it was only for gas and meals!) It all adds up.
