I watched it yesterday and will record it next time it is on. Very well done and yes, I hope it is shown every Memorial Day too! There won't be a dry eye in the house when you watch it.

If anyone gets the opportunity to watch "Taking Chance" starring Kevin Bacon, please do so. I think it should be shown every Memorial Day on television. A very moving story about the escort that has the honor of taking a KIA Marine home for burial.

Thanks so much! It was very hectic there for awhile gathering and posting information, but everyone in the "whole" county participated from the local newspaper advertising it, to the Dickens County Historical Commission. Dickens County has the best people you could ever hope to work with; I have been so blessed to have adopted this county and represent them as coordinator. -----Original Message----- From: txgen-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:txgen-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Robin Inge Sent: Monday, May 25, 2009 9:16 AM To: txgen@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Veterans Day Remembrance This site is just amazing.  Great Work Dickens County.   Robin R Inge "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away"    ________________________________ From: Jevette Duncan <hillcountygenweb@gmail.com> To: txgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, May 25, 2009 7:56:03 AM Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Veterans Day Remembrance thats so cool! love that site too!!!!

For any of you who had similar questions like I did about your mailing lists and how to change them since a large number are no longer with Rootsweb ... I was finally told to contact this person: John Fuller at, johnf14246@aol.com John told me he would change his listing on the next update and would also take care of telling Rootsweb people to change their listing....... time will tell I guess. ~DEB~ --- On Thu, 5/14/09, Wanda Qualls <wandaq@satx.rr.com> wrote: From: Wanda Qualls <wandaq@satx.rr.com> Subject: Re: [TXGEN] mailing lists links ...
