Hi, Good News, I picked up my Plaque today at Orwick Monument. It is
beautiful Black Granite, with white Lettering and a Catholic Cross. I also
talked to the new priest, and I have his full cooperation and blessing for
the Memorial of the Childs Stone and the Plaque. Lonnie I asked about moving
the Cross up front, he said, a fine Idea. I meet with him Sept. 15th and we
will put in writing what I said I wanted to do, and he will also sign a
permission Statement saying every thing is approved as far as the cleanup and
the Memorial. I have contacted Brenda Langsdon, the lady who got the TV Crew
out there, and she will get them back when the cleanup is done we are ready.
Also the Corydon Democrat will be back to do a story. I asked the Priest if
he would come down and Re-dedicate the Cemetery and give his Blessing to the
work we will have done and the Memorial. He said yes, but he would like for
this to take place probably the second week of October. He is very
cooperative. Everyone says this is the best that can be done with all the
stones Bulldozed over the hill. We can try to work the other Pieces of Stones
into the Memorial someway. I am open for any suggestions, any Questions
?
We may need some volunteers, best time 1st Sat. in October Let me know,
Sorry so long, Jack Briles jb502000(a)aol.com
Congratulations, Jack! Job well done, in spite of impossible circumstances.
Bravo!
