Hi, Lincoln County, the volunteer county of the volunteer state is present and accounted for :-))) My most memorable event from the past year were my activity as a USGenWeb board member from about 12/97 to 9/98. Was also moderator of USGenWeb-ALL from about July 1st to about a week ago. I'm just going to guess that I read some 10,000 emails during that time... about 90% of them ugly :-((( So now I have time to devote to my beloved Lincoln County... home of half of my ancestors. My plans are to get a lot more data uploaded into the USGenWeb archives where they will stay for eternity *free* to all researchers. George
