Howdy Folks:
It's my pleasure to take a moment to pass along some CONGRATULATIONS!
When OHGenWeb began in July 1996, many talented and helpful individuals
heard the call and began county websites, and some who had previously-
established websites joined the team through their existing sites.
In the first year of OHGenWeb (01 Jul 1996-30 Jun 1997), many great
things happened, and through these folks' efforts -- as well as through
ALL our OHGenWeb webmasters past and present -- we continue to build
upon the premises and foundations designed and established five years
ago.
We reached our goal of having all 88 Ohio counties fully webmastered by
09 Jul 1997. We continue with a full compliment of websites through the
present, and I invite you to visit our OHGenWeb sites at your
convenience to see what has, and is, taking place to assist our Buckeye
researchers around the world.
We've had many turnovers within the past five years, but there are still
founding (first-year) members within our group. Of our sixty-four
current webmasters, the following twenty-six Founding Members of
OHGenWeb are still active within the Project.
These individuals I recognize and salute today for their willingness,
perseverance and dedication to our Project:
Alice Allen Judy Kelble
Robert Bremer Charles Kelley
Peggy Brown David Koester
John Bush Dan Krupp
Melanie Cox Rachel Meyer
George Cryder Bill Oliver
Sharyn Dana Allen Richmond
Tom Dean Mark Roberts
Brad Frecker Sue Strick
Wally Garchow Nancy Sween
Cheryl Gregg Charles Weese
Pat Grogg Scott Williams
Don Kear Susan Wilson
Honorable Inclusion:

Thank you, Founding Members, for your time and efforts you put forth for
the Project. We are all blessed to have you in OHGenWeb!
