Hi List!! I would like to be brief about this. This regarding the Cemetery. I had the oppurtunity to talk to one of the boys who were part of the vandalism rampage as well as having his assistance in the repairs. I'm doing this since it was requested by him to do so. Regardless of how angry some may be over this and their opinion on what should happen to them, we need to understand a little about Tom. Tom appears to be a very smart kid with a good head on his shoulders atleast to move in the right direction. Though there are some indications that is obvious that he has taken the wrong path. It's clear to see that he knows what he did and has excepted responsibility and is taken the steps to atleast in some small way pay back the community with service. Even though his childhood has been troubled doesn;t mean that what he did should be swept under the carpet, also I feel it's not all his fault in the same token. Yes he made those decisions himself. Tom feels also that since he broke them he should atleast help fix them. I hope this will be a turning point in his life as equally I hope all of us that take part in the repairs will have a positive impact on him. It was requested that he Thanks everyone for their part in the effort to repair and all assitance in every form that has been received. I personally would like to thank everyone for coming together from near and afar to atleast contribute in some way and that in itself says just how important our history is. Sincerly, Ken Murtiff
