Hello,
I received this which was sent to me privately. Since I do not work
with Oregon cemeteries, I wanted to forward the message to this list. Send
any replies directly to Bonnie at bonnie_b at canada.com DO NOT send any
replies to me, I have nothing to do with this query and am simply passing
it along. Bonnie is probably not subscribed to this list, so replies should
be sent to her privately and not via the list, or they may not reach her.
Thank you,
Kevin Fraley (Swimref at cmc.net)
Director, Washington Cemetery Project
