-- MEET OUR PALS --

NOTE: Recently, I sent out a request for typing helpers
(Lena, Betty and Kim had sent me obituaries for years but I
have over 40 large books full of about 800 obits each so I need HELP - also need to get these up on the net and out of my house because of my asthma :( ). Ginny has been especially wonderful to help lately, too, as well as Walt. Yet, I still needed some typists. Thinking I'd get a couple of helpers, lo and behold I got this wonderful group -- thanks sooooooooooo much to all of you.

FEATURED TYPIST

From -- Debby Masterson -- I'm 64, will be 65 in November. I was a fine arts major at the University of South Carolina but never finished. I draw and paint, and enjoy photography. I graduated from a technical
college majoring in industrial drafting. I was employed by Lockheed Missiles and Space in Charleston, SC as a draftsman and transferred to Sunnyvale to become a technical writer. I wrote maintenance manuals for the Trident Missile system. Then moved to Florida and worked for Martin Marietta as a tech writer on the
Pershing Missile program and later the TADS program (it's the navigation pod on the nose of the Apache helicopter). My husband and I have been married for 27 years. My husband has a grown son and daughter and five grandchildren, who I absolutely adore. Unfortunately they live in different parts of the country and we don't get to see them nearly as often as we'd like.We have an Arabian mare named Amie, two Schipperke pups, Willow and Nicky, a cat named Charley and a Senegal parrot we call Scooby Do. We
live on 15 acres on a small lake and are visited daily by deer, wild turkeys and sandhill cranes. They're all well fed because we and the neighbors all put feed out for them. I enjoy reading, and I especially love mysteries and thrillers. Some of my favorite authors
are Janet Evanovich, Jonathan Kellerman, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Lee Child, James Lee Burke, Kathy Reichs, Harlan Coben, and on and on, too many to list. I also enjoy flying and of course genealogy. My parents and grandparents all died between 1981 and 1984, and I guess I started my family search a couple years later. I've been unable to learn much about my Masterson heritage, but my mother's mother's family name is Spangler, and
there's a lot of information about them readily available. One of the Spangler men married a woman from Rensselaer County, NY, which is why I became the GenWeb coordinator for the county at its inception. I was a volunteer at the Tucson LDS library for a couple years and took
advantage of access to their books, microfilm and microfiche to transcribe the information I displayed there. Labor of love. When I'm able, I volunteer to help Karen in any way needed - also a labor of love.

-- from KZ -- thanks muches to Debby M and ALL MY AWESOME HELPERS !!

Special thanks to Walt -- he has typed all but about 3 letters
of my VERY large collection of 1950-80s obituaries. It is almost complete. This is AMAZING - thanks so very much, Pal :) Ginny was also very very very awesome!!
