Subj: Clayton Library-Houston Chronicle Date: 5/17/02 10:31:28 AM Central Standard Time From:    erootrot@usa.net (liz hicks) To:    RELPPEK@aol.com Hi, Please spread the word to get a copy of today's Houston Chronicle (5/17).  The front page of the Metropolitan section has excellent article by a Chronicle reporter (we're having an impact)- starting sentence, "The Houston Public Library is trying to put genealogy back in the bottle". The CLF Board of Directors is meeting Tues. with past president of Friends of HPL to formulate a plan.  WE need support of everyone, even people who don't live in Houston to write and say they come to Houston specifically to do research at Clayton, why doesn't the City promote such a premier research facility, and that they SPEND MONEY in Houston while visiting Clayton. Please tell your genealogy buddies.  Liz Hicks Director, CLF Board of Directors 2002-2003
