Dear Marilyn: Since I live in Florida I am unable to be at that meeting but I have written letters to all of the board members and also to the Oswego County Daily News. Please be very voiceful while being at the meeting for me also. I agree one hundred percent that she should be allowed to keep her job as Historian. I know that she has been a great help to me in the four visits I paid to the Offices. I am quite sure that the board members can find other ways to cut spending without cutting jobs. I offered some suggestions to board members and hopefully they will try them out. One was: Putting all records online and charging a membership fee to access these records just as the NEHGS does in Boston. We genealogists already know that in order to keep these records available that we will have to pay for services. I am agreeable to pay for this service. I told them also that I pay out over 500.00 a year in membership for online access and one more isn't going to break the bank. Just think how much money they can haul in by doing this and Barbara would also keep her job. I even suggested that she head this department also. Well I will await the results of tomorrow and hopefully we will prevail in keeping her as Historian.
