    3. Gail, David & I are still "plugging away" on the Greenwood Cemetery, as time allows. I have about 500 hundred names entered in to my database thus far. (We hope to have it done before the turn of the century!!). You had told me earlier that Rusty plans to put names on internet in alphabetical order, but I am also compiling a listing by Block and Lot # for the museum. I think it will be beneficial to those who plan to visit the cemetery to have this listing on file just because the cemetery is so huge. With a layout of the plots and the names listed according to plot #, visitors can go right to the location of their ancestors' graves without having to search through the whole cemetery. The first time David & I went out there, we walked for almost an hour and didn't find the grave we were looking for. I am also re-doing the museum listing of "unmarked graves" in order of block & plot #. This makes it easier for me to incorporate them into my listing. I don't know whether any of this will be helpful or not with your article, but at any rate, I wanted to update you on our progress. I regret that, once again, I will not be able to attend the meeting this Saturday. We have a bed & breakfast rented at Caddo for some much-needed R&R. I am very sorry I will miss hearing Ben Z. Grant speak, as I very much enjoy reading his newspaper articles; but we've had these plans for a long time now. Hopefully, I will be able to make the July meeting. Good luck with your article.
