Lois:
Good luck! We're finding that the VFW and American Legion are very willing
to work with us on cemeteries, as I mentioned in previous messages to the
list. Your contact may be surprised because he has a list of the
cemeteries they are aware of that have veterans. You probably can add to
their list of those with veterans (we shared with our American Legion the
WPA survey results from 1940), and hopefully can persuade them to also work
with you to preserve the ones without identified veterans, too. We did.

I heard late last night (Friday, 6/25/99) from Mr. Davidson about his
invitation for me to speak on Monday to his VFW post. He asked if they
could postpone my presentation to a later time, so I won't be going up there
to speak next week.
He seemed quite surprised that there were more than 200 cemeteries in
Jackson County (see
http://www.rootsweb.com/~injackso/cem_listall.html ) and
that there were, in his county, people interested in protecting them.
I suspect I will hear again from Mr. Davidson and will keep you posted.
