AMEN What is on Michelle & My MinCo page did not come for free (I wish I had the money I spent for gas, research, copy fees and typing, or the countless hours we have spent typing..and typing...and typing. When we adopted the Mineral County Page, there was a front page and one link to a page with names of an old KHS Graduating class. We have spent a lot of our life working for the MinCo Page. I can't speak for Michelle, but after what I am going through right now with the MinCo list Administrator..I would not blink an eye before removing all my work from Rootsweb. They have proved they have no respect for listers, No respect for County Co's, No respect for State Co. In response to you Les, about resignation: Had it not been for you the MinCo Page would still be the KHS Class . Picture I've been 9 years with this, and had not been for you....I'd have been done a long time ago. Your dedication to WV, your support and caring for me has kept me here. I'll stay and fight if you do!
