Toni:
I can't believe you let bitter cold, freezing rain, deep snow, marauding polar bears and ravenous wild dogs keep you from photographing more than 49 monuments.
Why do you think we pay you the big bucks?
We were going to hold back your cheque this month, but the cheque is in the mail.
You are a great help to this list.
Take care
Art

> Made a quick trip to this church (est. 1837) and cemetery yesterday, and even remembered my camera for a change! The weather was bitter, so I snapped away very quickly, but I hope I got fairly clear pictures of the inscriptions. Here is a summary of the ones that either read "Islay", or I suspect they were. Im sure I missed some, but it was starting to rain. If you recognize any of your ancestors and want a copy, please email me offlist
