Subject: [TXBELL] Sorry to hear about your grandmother.

Joe,
I was sorry to hear about your grandmother.
You mentioned South Texas. Where was she from?
I am in San Antonio.
Thank you for all the good work you do for Bell County. What would we do without all your expertise and good idea? Keep up the good work.
Jackie Morgan

Subject: [TXBELL] Coordinator Update (aka he's still living!)

> Just a few updates, since I have not been around much lately:
>
> 1) Along with everyone else, my thanks and appreciation go out to Mary
> Lou Duke for doing the fine effort of coordinating (and most of the
> actual work) on the North Belton Cemetery project. It's a true
> volunteer who steps up to do this type of work for the research
> community even when there is no personal gain involved. As I've said
> before, we receive quite a few queries about this cemetery, though
> probably not near as many as manager Roy Steger. Jody just sent me the
> plot maps, which I will post shortly to the North Belton webpage to have
> them viewable online. This way, people can lookup the
> plot number in the transcription and locate the section on the map. I'm
> sure Roy will appreciate both being online! I may see if it will works
> best in Adobe format, similar to what we have on the Killeen City
> Cemetery.

> 2) I am working on updating the surname and family website listings

> requests over the past few weeks that I haven't gotten to yet. Shortly

> the website into a spreadsheet or database. This section of the
> website will be the first part of the transition to the new
> database-driven website which will eventually make content maintenance
> much more efficient.

> 3) My current main project is still the photo section for posting the
> family and location photos I have received over the past year. I have
> one family
> section completed and ironing out the kinks before I use it as a
> template for the others. I hope to have a few family photo sections

> especially like to hear this! heh)
>
> 4) You may hear from me in the coming weeks recruiting for two more
> assistant coordinators. I tried this last year without much success.
> I believe if we can allow these two volunteers to organize material and
> answer questions on the photo section and the upcoming community
> section, it will allow me to focus more on the website design and
> maintenance. (I will definitely still be available to answer queries.)
> More later as I have time to compile details on the responsibilities.
>
> In conclusion, I would like to apologize for not being around as much as
> I would prefer the last few months. I've had a lot going on at work,
> particularly with layoffs and a position change (fortunately, a
> promotion) this week. Additionally, my grandmother in South Texas
> passed away a few weeks ago. Now that thing are slowly returning to
> normal, my intention is to reserve two evenings a week for working on
> the Bell County website. Right now, there's a big gap between the
> ideas and the implementation for the site. I think you will be pleased
> with what it will look like by year's end.
