>From Yhe Oak Ridger 3 Feb 2004 Jeffrey Michael Black, 46, Ruby Lee Green, 82, of LaFollette, K.O. Pearson, 77, of Oak Ridge, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Jeffrey Michael Black, 46, died Friday, Jan. 30, 2004, at his home in Oakland, Calif. Born Sept. 14, 1957, in Oak Ridge, he was the son of Colleen Black of Oak Ridge and the late Clifford H. Black. He attended St. Mary's Catholic School, Jefferson Junior High School and graduated from Oak Ridge High School in 1975. After graduation, Mr. Black pursued a career in art, studying in Nashville, Atlanta, Ga., and San Francisco, Calif. Mr. Black was a sculptor. According to his family, he recycled trash from the streets - auto parts, hair rollers, plastic bottles, cardboard, bits of paper, and discarded trinkets and toys - into hotels, churches, banks, terminals, restaurants and historical citys capes. Many of his works are based on the historic past, while others are a bit whimsical and strictly imaginary. His family said all of his art is environmentally correct and his aim was to help clean up the environment by turning trash into art. His family said he had a knack for scavenging and finding discarded objects along city streets and byways. He would gather his objects d'art on his early morning walks around Union Square, Nob Hill, the Mission District, Richman District, Market Square and the Tenderloin. His finds were then cleaned, taped and glued together, using a process he called "Taper Mache," his family said. He taped, glued and painted the trash into a mixed media of brightly colored sculpture that he wired and lit from within. According to his family, one of his favorite sculptures, "The Columbia," stands six feet tall and is standing in his mother's sunroom. It was a gift for her 70th birthday. His family said the giant sculpture is the focal point of the room, and became the first of his series of San Francisco's historical hotel sculptures. His family said he was always interested in history and art and he loved the history and architecture of large cities, having grown up in Oak Ridge where the history started during World War II, and the tallest building in town was the old practice fire tower. In addition to his mother, Mr. Black is survived by seven brothers and sisters, David Black of Nashville, Suzanne and Pete Angelini of Oak Ridge, Becky Adams of Knoxville, Jennifer and Malcolm Burman of Atlanta, Mary Tara and Don Warner of Northport, Maine, Cliff and Nora Kidd Black of Tucson, Ariz., and Jayne Massoumi of Sarasota, Fla.

The Scott Co, TN website was updated tonight. While it may appear that not much new information was added, the biggest changes are happening under the covers. I've completely redesigned the Family Reunion and Guestbook pages. The guestbook really needed redesign because it was so fragile and constantly breaking. The Family Reunion page now displays your reunion information more clearly and I've made it easier for you to add your own reunion information. Expect to see more significant changes over the next few months as I migrate the website to rely on databases to present the information. You will find this particularly useful as I merge the cemetery, death, and marriage records into a single database. You will be able to conduct searches and only display those names and their information that you are interested in seeing. This should make the site much faster and significantly lessen the download times, especially for those with slow modem connections. This will take me some time to accomplish the redesign and migrate existing data to the new format. As you work with the website, please let me know when you find broken links so I can fix them. I fixed many tonight but there are always others as other websites that I link to go out of business, change their structures, or change their providers. Below is a summary of updates made tonight. ...tim west...
