Subject: [STATE-COORD-L] Fwd: [MEGEN-L] A Great Loss to the Maine
USGenWeb Community.
To: STATE-COORD-L(a)rootsweb.com
I was informed today, of the death of George Thompson, host of the Me
US
GenWeb Franklin County site.
Although I did not know George personally, I am deeply saddened by the
news of
his death. I knew that he had been ill, but did not realize the
seriousness
of his illness, and am greatly saddened by his death. He and
Jan's
contributions to genealogy, both in the publishing and Internet
community,
will long stand as a testament to his commitment, love, and knowledge
of
genealogy and history. Me USGenWeb, and the USGenWeb community has
certainly
lost a wonderful friend and mentor.
George was something! Once, I inadvertently left his link off one of
my
pages, and when I apologized, his answer was, "That's okay
'young
lady!'"
When you first start out doing this "web stuff," that is an
encouraging
and
uplifting reply, and that he called me 'young' will always
make him
special!
He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with Jan and family.
Sincerely,
Tina S. Vickery
