Good morning Susan. I am doing some file cleaning and read the e-mail you sent out last April '02. ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Hawkins Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 1:15 PM To: TXFANNIN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TXFANNIN-L] mostly offtopic "(Don't worry I've told my kids that everything in my filing cabinets and in these boxes for this are are to be burned on my death, nobody can read my writing anyway." My thought, and probably others too, is what a waste of research. You also said that no one can read your writing anyway, but isn't that true of many of the documents we try to read at research centers. I wish you would reconsider and have your files donated to a facility for future researchers to have access to. You work hard and diligently and I for one am thankful for all you contribute now. Take care Susan. David

Susan, I have been told the story that on both sides of our family of 'relatives' coming through after the death of Aunt or Grandfather so and so and these crazy people THROW away pictures, Family Bibles, Etc. This is why we should form some sort of repository especially in the Bonham, Tx. area for these items. Nothing should be burned or thrown away. A person's life work is important to them as well as us. Maybe this is the NEXT project for Ms. Hawkins or the Fannin Co. historical society.
