Dear List Members, I'm sure you all have heard the old sayings: "Never look a gift horse in the mouth," and "A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush." Well, they're most applicable in this case. Ed, our List Administrator, has gone out of his way to ensure these obits get recorded for posterity instead of letting them sit in a box or bag somewhere where they can further yellow and crinkle. I'm sure some of you have noticed the ? marks on a few of the obits where the writing and print have already become illegible. Ed collected and mailed (probably at his own expense) these obits to me (Las Vegas) to type into the system in my spare time. Spare time that usually occurs at 4:00 a.m. before I get my son up for school and start my day! I really don't care where I type them. I follow Ed's direction. I'm just honored to be able to finally do something to repay the list for all the help it's provided me over the past few years. I don't believe the List Administrator's job is a paid position. Our Fayette County List Administrator is very helpful, conscientious, and dedicated. Let's not cause him grief or make him unnecessary work. Let's just be grateful that he took the job and support the efforts he's put forth on our behalf. The obits are being recorded and that's all that counts. Convert your subscription to digest mode versus list and your e-mails will be grouped together thus decreasing the volume. Then, you can arrow down and skip the ones you don't care to read. Quite frankly I'm tired of arrowing down through the ones concerning this topic. Sincerely, Carole Clarke
