>> Those members of SMCGS on this list need to be alerted to the fact that

> Actually, she was not missing a page. The printer had neglected to print

> "Generator."
>>
>> Page 13 started w/ Mary Ann Shoemaker's article on Holy Cross R. C.
>> Church
> in Marion County, Kentucky. That article was to finish up on p. 14.
>>
>> As it was, all of p. 14 - the end of Mary Ann's article, a short piece of
> slaves on the 1860 census [copied from a RootsWeb posting] and the
> begining
> of Mary Beth Abordo's article on her ancestor who was a prisoner at Point
> Lookout during the Civil War - all of that was NOT printed.
>>
>> All of p. 15 was NOT printed .... more on Mary Beth's Confederate
>> Kentucky
> ancestor; p. 16 was then printed on the back of page 13.
>>
>> The lady who called to say she was missing a page, said "I'm confused.
>> I'm
> reading about Holy Cross Church in Kentucky & then I'm reading about Point
> Lookout." No wonder she was condused !!!!
>>
>> The printer re-printed the entire "Generator" for no cost, but SMCGS had
> to pay the Post Office for a second bulk mailing.
>>
>> I worked w/ the team who mails the "Generator" yesterday morning. Each
> second mailing has a label reading "Corrected Copy" on the front.
>>
>> Loranna Gray gave out the "corrected copy" version to all those at the
> September meeting on Monday 9/25. At that time, no one living outside of
> Leonardtown had yet received their copy of the "Generator." As of Tuesday,
> 9/26 my "Generator" still has not made the 5 miles from Leonardtown to
> Hollywood !!! Ever since the Bulk Mailing Office in Waldorf was shut down,
> all our bulk mailings from St. Mary's County go up to some larger facility
> off the Beltway. It has added about a week to the delivery time.
>>
>> So, when you get your first copy, read it. When you get the 2nd copy,
> finish Mary Ann's article & start Mary Beth's !!!
>> Keep the 2nd copy & toss the first.
>>
>> Sorry about this mess. Sorry especially to Mary Ann and Mary Beth .... it
> was your 2 articles which were messed up.
