George: Thank you for saying what (I am sure) many of us were thinking. Herb: For those of us who cannot get to Augusta County to view the Minutes, or afford to pay a researcher, at least Chalkey's gives us a starting point and insight. The time and humongous effort of the persons responsible for putting this online is sooooooo very much appreciated.

Dear George, If Old Augusta had originally posted the truth about Chalkey's Chronicles which is what I have posted about Chalkely's Chronicles nothing would have been said. People need to know the facts. Feel free to retrace my steps I reported and find out for yourself what the truth is. ----- Original Message ----- From: OLDHIKER50@aol.com To: vaaugust@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 7:15 PM Subject: [VAAUGUST] Herb & other nitpickers I seldom get on a soapbox BUT.... sheesh get a life man. shuddup Herb if you don't want to use Chalkey - Don't A lot of people have gotten good from it and a lot of people worked hard to get it online.
