Carole, AL and List,
I have sent a letter along with copies of all my paperwork for the last year,
(next month will be one year) to Governor Barnes, what if any response I will
get I do not know, but I will let you know if I get any reply.
Second, I hand delivered to the Southside Neighbor Newspaper's office on
Frontage Rd., in Forest Park copies of all my paperwork over a month ago. I
made three phones calls to a Roger Daniels, who I was told would be the
reporter to cover a story like this one. On Monday of this week I again
called Mr. Daniels and he told me he had gone over my paperwork and this was
not a story they would cover as it was an investigative story, and his
newspaper did not do stories like this. I don't understand this but I can't
make him write a story, wish I could.
Three, I have called one of our local TV stations, and E-mailed them. I
received a reply on Tuesday of this week, and I am waiting on a call from a
reporter, if they do not get back with me I will go to the next station,
etc., until I call them all.
The more publicly I can get the better, I have also called a professor at
Ga. State Univ. and I hope he will call me. I am also trying to get in touch
with the National Tombstone Society, a friend of mine who sends me copies of
anything she thinks can help me with the cemetery, sent me a copy of a story
about this group that appeared in the Marietta Daily Journal, this group met
in Savannah Ga. this year. If anyone has any info on how I could get in touch
with them, please let me know.
As I explained in my e-mail to the TV station, why does this builder not have
to comply with Ga. Law??
I have talked with someone from the SCV in Jonesboro, and I hope this man
will call me back, I am it appears waiting on a lot of phone calls.....
As a member of the DAR I think I may call a chapter of the SAR in Jonesboro.
I knew you would be shocked at the site of the cemetery Carole, it is in such
bad shape.
Well, for now this is all I can report, I will let you know what happens, and
yes I have talked with and E-mailed a reporter with the AJC.
Thanks,
Lora Busha
Kennesaw, GA.
