McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] My 15 nanoseconds of "fame" If you watched the Channel 10 news in Knoxville Sunday night at 11, you heard our friend, Bruce Davies, lead off and close the segment on the Gatlinburg Highland Games. Wasn't he wonderful? If you were listening closely, you heard a soprano note that lasted about 15 nanoseconds past Bruce's baritone hold near the end of the segment -- that would be me...<g> If you missed him this year, you've got a chance at the Flora MacDonald Highland Games in North Carolina in October, plus we're hoping to have him back in Knoxville sometime the first week of October before he goes off to be "Artist in Residence" at the University of Iowa for a couple of weeks. Once you hear Bruce sing, you'll be a fan for life... http://www.brucedavies.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 11:43:01 -0400 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] USGenWeb founder has died Jeff Murphy, the founder of the KYGenWeb project that ultimately evolved into the USGenWeb project, has passed away. Please take a moment to remember Jeff, since the "official" USGenWeb history page at http://www.usgenweb.org/about/history.html doesn't even mention his name... A more-detailed history of the project (which does memorialize Jeff's involvement) can be found at http://www.radix.net/~merope/history/chapter2.htm ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 16:30:57 -0400 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Several have asked about Jeff Murphy Several have inquired about how to send condolences to the family of Jeff Murphy, who was the founder of the USGenWeb project, since I posted the notice of his untimely passing (he was just 54 and left two pre-school-age children) earlier today. I don't know if Jeff's wife, Debbie, has separate e-mail. Their mailing address as far as we know is still 735 NW 8th, Redmond, OR 97756. Here are some quick suggestions for charitable donations. These causes were near to Jeff's heart: - -- Transcribe a biography and donate it to the KY Biographies or US Biographies projects. http://members.tripod.com/~debmurray/usbios/usbiog.html http://www.starbase21.com/kybiog/ - -- Donate money toward historical preservation in Kentucky, especially Muhlenberg County. - -- Donate a book or other item not already in their catalogue to the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Alternatively, choose a historical/genealogical cause that you support and donate money, time, or a book / periodical subscription / item of general interest to it in Jeff's name. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 10:40:19 -0700 From: Lee7293@swbell.net Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Look-ups-Marriages E.
