Subject: [DRAKE] What to do with genealogy?


I want to thank everyone who wrote in response to the
above question. If you recall, the question came up
because a lady was going blind and didn't know what to
do with her many years of research. So many of you took
the time and effort to offer some really great
suggestions. They were all passed on to Cathy's
husband, kept, by him and by me, read, and appreciated.
Today I received a note from Cathy that I would like to
share with you.

"I have been searching for an eye doctor who is not
afraid
of getting sued for making any improvements.  He thinks
he
can remove the cataract and do a corneal transplant 
that MAY give me a little vision in the one eye I
have been totally blind in since birth.  If nothing
else, the
cataract will be gone and that means no more
every-other-
weeks of having a bandage contact replaced...a lifetime
thing .  He is at UT and on the faculty too. It may
mean that I
can see with just a magnifying glass and that will mean
I can
read again.  I am also determined that one way or
another, 
I AM going to compile all my notes and get this family
stuff 
done.  Sure would be nice to have some family somewhere
who 
wants this but my daughter said she will keep it.   May
still 
send it to my son, the author/publisher, to see what he
might 
want to do with it.   It was so encouraging to hear
from all 
those wonderful people because of  your effort. You are
just a 
very special person."   

Cathie

You are all very special, thanks to each of you.
I'm going to try to combine all of those suggestions
and 
maybe send them off to roots web so they can be
published 
somewhere so that others can read and learn from them.
I'll 
remove the names and email addresses and what ever I
do, it 
won't be for profit.
