Rootsweb (sponsor of our mail list) will begin a technical upgrade of the mailing list server starting at 7:00 AM PST Friday, December 8. The mail lists will be out of commission for approximately 10 hours. No messages sent during this down-time will be lost. They will be held until the servers are back up and then sent. All the best, Celia (List Administrator: DePuy, Hartle, Rudd, IL-Champa, IL-Civil-War, IL-Eastern, ILVermil, ILLiving)
