Betsy, I am the person who posted it here and DISCUSS. Don worked with many, many people over the years who deserve to know that he is no longer with us. I'd hardly call something posted on Facebook as something intended to be kept private. Don't ever accuse me of posting something about someones death as "for show". Nothing could be further from the truth and I consider your response a personal attack. You don't know me and I am sorry that you are so caught up in this projects politics that you believe everything that is posted by certain people has an underlying intent. RIP Don Kelly, you will be missed!!

I guess though that or private messages aren't as good as posting it to this list "for show" so that other people see it. As far as I know no one in the project knew about this until last week because the family wanted this kept private. The message to this list may be the first any of the AB knew about it. But let's all assume the worst. That is so much more fun. Betsy At 03:24 PM 8/26/2012, you wrote: >Thank you Steve for taking the time to add something to IAGenWeb for >Don.
