Joe,
Do they know that they are being recognized for their work?
I started to e-mail Mary and then decided I should check with you first.
She is such a gem!! I can't tell you how many things she has checked on for me in the Temple/Belton area!! I certainly appreciate all she does.

> This was a monumental task. Hillcrest alone had 12,000 marked burials. The

> As a result we are noticing a marked increase in local and out-of-town
> visitors to the cemeteries, who say they saw the web pages and are here to
> find their ancestors. This means increased tourism and increase sales tax
> revenue for our city.
>
> We are deeply indebted to the volunteers for their monumental efforts. If
> you can, please join us at 5 p.m. on June 19 to give these folks our thanks.
>
> Hope you can make it.
