Occasionally, I get to send a very very nice message to you all, and today is one of those occasions! Congratulations, Barbra, on your tireless work and energy in maintaining your county sites. Your efforts have been recognized by one of your "customers", who took the time to write to the USGenWeb Project National Coordinator and express his thoughts. We're all very proud of you, Barbra!
