Thank you Randy for forwarding the article to Reps. Bischoff and Hoffman. What
else can we do?
This is a sad price to pay for attaining one of our primary objectives, Public
Awareness!
But, since it has happened, it is an opportunity to use it to get a foot in
the door of these offices. I read the article and wondered if it predicts the
fate of the old Longnecker Cemetery south of Metamora, sitting innocently in
its little grove of trees in a remote location where there may not even be one
person driving by to witness.
I encourage everyone to contact their representatives as Randy did. Would
following up with copies by snail mail be effective? Maybe paper on their desk
would be harder to ignore (they can't just hit the delete button).
This incident and publicity emphasizes the urgency of actively supporting the
Pioneer Cemetery Restoration Project.
