Jim, Bridgett etal, I didn't vote. My life is in chaos and I didn't get a ballot --- or if I did, I didn't recognize it. As one Powell to another --- congratulations and you have my support Jane Powell. -----Original Message----- From: Bridgett Smith <bascs@snark.wizard.com> To: TNGEN-L@rootsweb.com <TNGEN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, February 01, 1999 7:38 PM Subject: [TNGEN-L] (Fwd) Thank You >From your new representative with the USGenWeb Advisory Board - - he, along with Yvonne, are your representatives.

I would appreciate it, if you would share this with your fellow TNGenWeb Volunteers... Thanks in Advance, Jim Hi Fellow Volunteers... I want to thank "everyone" who voted in this election. I also want to commend the SE/MA Region for posting more votes than any other Region. And those of you who didn't vote, I would really like to know "why you didn't vote?" I stand here among some of the most giving people in the world, shoulder to shoulder, none above the rest. Your concerns are my concerns, your fears are my fears for I represent "you". How can I represent you if I don't hear from you? Obviously I can't. So let me hear from you. When you have a concern, throw it at me. If you are totally content with things as they are, I need to hear that too. Don't be strangers, step up and at least say "hi" A few other comments... Next time you feel like sending a "scathing" post to a list, send it to me. I won't take it personally even if you mean it that way. Maybe we can find some common ground. I always follow the rules even if I do not believe in them. So there will be no "leaks" from the Board List by me, but I will do my best to keep you informed. I will work within the system to make the process more open. But I will not allow my actions to create chaos or division. 100 votes in a region the size of ours is not a mandate. So I still need to hear from you. Keep an eye on me... Be informed... On any issues that you believe in, pro or con, let me know. I will do my best to represent "you". I believe in "YOU", all of you and I thank you for all you have done to make Free Genealogical Resources on the Internet a reality. I hope that I can live up to your and my expectations as your representative.
