Welcome back!!<br />I believe that in addition to your considerable genealogy accomplishments, that you forgot to include the incredible effort to keep the EPC (Evangelical Protestant Cemetery) in excellent condition. Those efforts include mowing, weed-wacking, brush clearing, stone repair, and the never ending gas and repair costs. You might have also included; the installation of guard rails on Krumkill road <br />(that actually saved several stones), due to an accident just days after their installation, the purchase of several Christmas wreaths and their distribution. All this while holding down a sometimes stressfull full time job.<br />Do you ever sleep?<br />Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237108618093550878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355229416869425541.post-33157780681386949592023-01-22T09:07:38.243-05:002023-01-22T09:07:38.243-05:00It's been rather dull without you.
