As most of you know, I just made a major move from CA to VA. After my husband, Larry, passed away in November, I have been planning to move back home to VA when schools let out. At this time, I'm still in temporary quarters, but my online time should get back to normal later this week. The announcement: I've been offered a part-time position on the staff of Rootsweb, to help with the NON-genealogy Communities, and have accepted. This will not affect my volunteer work with the USGenWeb Archives or VAGenWeb, other than delegating more. ;) <ducking> I know most people don't feel the need to announce a new job, but since I've been *accused* of being on the payroll of Rootsweb a few times before, I thought I would go ahead and get on it. <g> My "payroll" status begins this month, and not in 1997, 1998, or even two months ago when it was "announced" by a <humor> famous </humor> reporter. In all seriousness, I am honored to work with Brian and Karen and the other RW staffers. B&K came to Larry's funeral in November, and offered to help me out by putting me on staff then, but I needed to wait until I knew if I was coming or going. Although I still don't know if I'm coming or going, I do need an income. <g> If anyone has any questions about what I'll be doing for RW, please feel free to ask. Linda
