Barbara, how exciting to see you as the new coordinator of the Cheyenne - Arapaho Lands page! I am so grateful for all the work you've done for the Kingfisher page and for your Native American Research Project site. With your dedication to preserving OK records, I know you'll be the best CC in the bunch! Please let me slip in an apology to everyone who has tried to contact me over the past 4 months...we've had some major family health problems. My 31 y/o army medic/RN dhtr had 4 heart surgeries in 6 weeks, and my gr-dhtr came to live with us, as s-i-l is, again, in Afghanistan. Then my already frail 84 y/o aunt (Shawnee-born) had a serious fall on cement in Feb, and, since she lives a 2-3 hour drive away in LeisureWorld near Long Beach, CA, I've been her caregiver and have only been home on weekends since then. (The first two weekends home, she had subsequent falls because her son, a LAPD detective and an only 'child' who lives just 10 minutes away, couldn't spare the time to stay with her one night a week...) My dhtr Eireann (and co-cc) is a college senior dealing with last-quarter classes, but she has kept our pages going and we've played a continual game of catch-up on the weekends. I'm home now, and keeping my fingers crossed as I type....8-) If you've asked for things to be done or items added to one of our OK pages, please know that it will be taken care of shortly. Thanks, LaRae btw....very small world... I recently found out that Edward Black, CC for Grant and Woods counties, lives just around the corner and down the street from me in the CA high desert! Edward, you and Eireann and I will have to have an OK-Coordinators meeting, western contingency, when the others get together!
