My sincerest apologies to the list. I guess I'm the one that doesn't
understand the scope of this group and how a private meeting of a
professional
organization that I doubt anyone on this list could attend if they wanted
to
pertains to what I thought we were to be discussing here.
I would think the more proper discussion here would be what to do if you
discovered bone fragments or human remains in a pioneer cemetery, and
leave
the examination of the same to the experts. My original concern was
simply
that educating people in areas they have no business being educated in
can
be more trouble than it's worth. I've been around a while and can attest
to the fact that some people think that after a few hours of discussion,
they're an expert in something. It's bad enough that some people can
'read
up' on tombstone restoration and then think they're experts, only to find
out, after it's too late, that they caused more harm than good...can any
one
say CONCRETE?
The last thing this list needs is someone attributing their desire to
study
bones found in a cemetery to it, or even worse, getting caught digging
around where they shouldn't. Remember, even probing is illegal, let
alone,
disturbing human remains.

Kyle,
I agree with you 100%per cent. Unfortunately it has gotten pretty bad on
the List.
I am to old and tired for the heated disscusions I have gotten into with
Tree Huggers and others over time. I just read and delete the arguments, I
can sleep better. Although Probing is Legal if it is Under the Authority of
the Township Trustee. (Per The DNR) ??
