Our work crew was: Margaret Brisbin, (a descendant of Robert Lee Queen) and her husband Winslow. My daughter Melanie Her friend Patti Patti's son, Kyle Eric, a son of Melanie's Chaplain My nephew, Billy Wayne Kester and me. Dixie had planned to go with her son Calvin, but he sprained his ankle and it would have been very unwise to try to work in that condition. My son, Damon had planned to go, but had to work. There will be other days for them to help out, and we will be most grateful for the help. Margaret is the sister-in-law of Katy McMillen. Katy came by for a few minutes, but her health is not such that she can work. I was delighted to meet her. She provided a great deal of my first information about the Queens when I began my research. . Winslow did a great job of trimming out trees and branches that were in the way. Billy put a chain and tow strap and pulled the larger ones away, and put some smaller ones out and away. I did a lot of trimming with the pruners and dragging and tossing of brush the guys cut with the chain saw. Melanie and her crew put up the fence. It is not perfect, but to me it is beautiful. They all worked very hard, and from the time they arrived until they left, I don't think anyone sat down. I had to practically beg them to have juice or tea and bagels and fruit to give them sustenance. One can actually see from side to side of the cemetery now. There is still much to be done, but we are proud of what we accomplished in one day. Basking in that glow, we went home weary but happy. Linda --------------693575DA9CA169AE69085D81--
