Hate to be such a nag---but at the beginning of April, I asked each of you to send a brief two line biography as to why you have been appointed to this committee...what your interest and experience in historical preservation is, etc.
 
I have them from Shaffer and from Scott Newman, but no others.
 
Folks, this report is to be delivered to the State Historic Preservation Office tomorrow by Gary Wilson,  I need your bios  ----Now.  I'm typing the document at this time so it is ready for tomorrow.
 
We do have deadlines.
 
Lorraine

Lorraine,

I'll have the church histories later today, we had a child die in our church and I had to set things aside to focus there.
