The reason being, it seems to be a Thurmon memory lane list! I have to tell you I really don't care to be e-mailed his memorys, nor does it have anything to do with Sackett genealogy. I think it is a misuse of the list. I know Thurmon, does "gather" information and post it, which I am greatful for, but if he wants to post his memorys, it should be done somewhere else. ============================ Yes, SACKETT-L is alive and well. The Sackett Family Association's Coordinating Committee is working actively in the background to set up a means of preserving what SACKETT-L has built to this day. In doing this and with the conversion of the administrative software at my work place, I have not been as active as I perhaps should have been as Admin to this list. As you mentioned, Thurmon does a lot in gathering information and posting it. He locates the ancestors for many new subscribers. He's built fantastic resources on the web for Sackett researchers that we're working to preserve. Thurmon helps me as Admin to keep the list active. He answers many if not all of the queries. Problem email addresses turn up with regular postings. This helps me. If you noticed, he never sends his Tales of Childhood if the list is busy. It's regretful that you unsubscribed from SACKETT-L. I hope you decide to rejoin sometime in the future. I have kept your identity anonymous with this posting to the list so that you may feel comfortable in rejoining us. TSFA has some pretty exciting times ahead of it and I hope you will be interested in it's future! You are the first to express objections to Thurmon's postings of his Tales of Childhood. Personally, I would be EXTREMELY ENTHUSIASTIC if I could run across a journal of any of my ancestor's memories. For the future generations, it may be via the Internet's archives. Now if more subscribers started sending their memories, I'd have to step in. I recently asked him to tell us more about his SACKETT relatives, encouraging more of the SACKETT theme in his postings. Again, I hope you decide to resubscribe. Later...Nancy Nancy Cluff Siders List Admin CLUFF-L, COUNTRYMAN-L, LETSON-L, MCKAY-ELKENNY-L, SACKETT-L, SIDERS-L LIFE: Live. Love. Learn.
