Hats off to those CC's as well. Sincerely, Peggy Surfing Committee Chair

Thank you to everyone who sent a message of congratulations. I will not send individual thanks since I fell yesterday and managed to break 2 fingers, one on each hand. Can you imagine a lobster trying to type? That is the way I feel. As the new State Coordinator of the TXGenWeb, I do not plan to make any changes since we seem to be doing quite well the way things are. I want to thank Elaine Martin and Bettie Wood for agreeing to continue as part of the TXGenWeb staff as ASCs. Everyone please make the corresponding changes on your county websites. Peggy Tebbetts will be the new Surfing Committee Chairperson effective immediately. The TXGenWeb is one of the best state projects in the USGenWeb thanks to each of you as County Coordinators, and I am looking forward to the next 2 years as your SC. Sincerely, Shirley Cullum

Bettie.... So sorry to hear you are having health issues. You will be in my thoughts for a speedy recovery and a most enjoyable wedding. I appreciate all the help, assistance, etc. you have given me and the TXGenWeb certainly reflects the hard work of you and your assistants. Thank you so much for your time and effors... I think Texas is the best state to conduct genealogy online and those results do not happen by accident. It takes tons of work and donated time to a worthy cause. Again, my many thanks to you, Bettie .... and my Congratulations to Shirley Cullum. TXGenWeb will continue in very good hands.

Hi folks Sorry for the delay--I have been quite sick, so haven't been on the net. There were 31 voters in our poll on whether to have an election with one candidate for TX SC. Out of those, 3 voted yes to have the election anyway, the rest said no, so...... Since I have been feeling so poorly lately & have our daughter's wedding coming up in a few weeks, I am going to go ahead & step down. Shirley Cullum is officially our new TXGenWeb SC, effective immediately. Congratulations Shirley! My heart felt thanks to you all. I have enjoyed leading our fine state & volunteers for the past few years, & hope that I have made you as proud of me as I have been of you all. My thanks also go to Shirley Cullum & Elaine Martin. They have been a great team to work with, & have made my "job" as SC very easy! Until next time <g> Bettie <><
