Jack,
That is why your books are so valuable! You alone will leave a Hugh amount of historical information behind. And all those people who don't see the LIGHT will realize what they should have gotten involved in sooner. I think there is still hope you will reach them.
It is not that my people don't care. It's just hard to keep them involved and to feel confident they can go out and tackle this work.

And Sue, I just got a call this week on a Boy Scout looking for a project. I'm thrilled about that! I'm just a little concerned about how much they can do. This repair work is really time consuming and I know it take some training. Maybe I'm being to silly. But John has taught us to strive for a perfect fix on each stone. I had one story passed on about a group (different county) that went out and began to work on a cemetery after one workshop. Most of them showed up with wire brushes and they used them on all the stones. It is hard to take in all this info an apply it correctly without multiple training sessions. But- I will revamp my strategy and begin again. Got to, I love this part. ;-)

And thank you Bill for the link. I will study that, it looks helpful.

Grateful for any ideas,
L. A.
Ps, here is one idea I've been working on for education.

This is my repair progress for two stones. Also on the left side is an album from our workshop. I didn't get this finished, but there are some good pictures explaining the process. Each album had 2 pages.
Ignore the Shoebox album, it's not related.
