Subject: [VAAMHERS-L] Many Thanks! (from Archivist)
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 10:40:54 -0400


I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who responded to my earlier
apology regarding the Archives. You have all been SO supportive!!! It
really means alot to me. I would have preferred to answer you all
individually, but there were so MANY responses!!! I did want to answer a
couple of questions that I received though. Yes, I do take care of the
archives on a volunteer basis, and I continually stretch myself to take
care of as many counties as I can because I, like you, want to make sure
that new files do continue to be uploaded and that the counties are cared
for. Sometimes I have the time & energy to do a fantastic job updating the
pages on a timely basis, and sometimes, I just don't have what it
takes. But all in all, I love taking care of the Archives and watching
them grow. I think it's a wonderful way to volunteer my time & hope I'll
be able to continue to do so for a very long time.

I have completed the uploads for July, minus a couple of small changes that
need to be made and also minus the scanned documents. My next goal is to
complete those & then I'll move on to the new files received in
August. Then I will send notification to the individual county lists for
all the new files uploaded during July & August. After that, I will start
work on organizing some new counties that I have adopted. Once those pages
are updated, I'll subscribe to the mailing lists for those counties &
notify the folks there that the counties now have a new archivist who will
TRY to post new files on a timely basis :) I'm sure those folks will be
happy as I don't believe those counties have had anything new posted in
quite some time.

Once again, thanks so much for your support and all your kind
words!!! It's good to know that there are real people out there (and nice
ones too!) that are benefiting from my time & effort. Thanks again, you're
the best!!!
