Happy Thanksgiving

We completed up to Book 77 today. Great job. After completing Book 77, I changed the film.
I put in the unexposed film that was left over from the last step test. It has almost 1500 frames left. We will film Books 25 through 27 on this roll, then install a new roll of film and proceed with our regular schedule. But thats a matter for next week. In the meantime I'd like to wish all of our volunteers and their families a Happy Thanksgiving. Easy on the turkey.

November 23, 2008 Update

We completed six books last week, finishing with Book 73. This weeks schedule is on for Tuesday for everyone who can make it. I will try to film Tuesday night since Thursday is Thanksgiving. The last forecast I heard said there is a good possibility of ice and snow on Tuesday, so that may affect this weeks schedule. We will film for a few more weeks before we take a small hiatus for the Christmas Holidays.

November 17, 2008 Update

Curt had an emergency and won't be able to film tomorrow.
As far as I know everyone else will be able to make it tomorrow.

Jim will probably film Book 68 and possibly Book 69 tomorrow and then change the film. We will then shoot Books 25, 26 and 27 over again because of the problem we had with the film fogging when we originally filmed them. When we finish shooting these books we will then resume our regular sequence.

November 16, 2008 Update

Good job last week. We completed 8 books. I haven't heard from anyone saying they can't make it this week, so I guess this weeks schedule goes as scheduled.

November 10, 2008 Second Update

I just received the step test numbers from Jim W. and marked the cover sheets of the first box of books that need to be filmed. Everything is set to go on Tuesday. Ron and I will film Thursday night.

November 10, 2008 Update

I just spoke with Jim W. and he said he would have the step test numbers done sometime this afternoon. He will call me when they are ready. I will post later this afternoon to let everyone know for sure about tomorrow's filming.

Jim will not be in tomorrow, so Jack will be the first scheduled filmer at 9:30 followed by Curt and Richard. Book 60 is ready to go. I loaded a new roll of film in the camera on Saturday.

Ron Scheff will be coming in on Thursday night for some training.

We have a new volunteer coming in next Tuesday. We'd all like to welcome Tina Pastusic to the crew.

Your comments are always welcome.

Jim, Richard and Alan completed the Step Tests for Hanover Green Cemetery books 61-98 last night. Alan dropped off the film at Jim W. this morning. The Step Test results should be back before Tuesday's filming.

November 2, 2008 Update

Tuesdays filming schedule has been cancelled!

Tuesdays filming has been cancelled. We have completed up to Book 59. Since only Book 60 has to be filmed and we cannot fit it on the existing roll of film we have decided to do the step tests first and then resume filming starting with Book 60.
Jim and I will be doing the step tests on Wednesday night starting about 6 PM. Curt, Richard and Jack are welcome to come and learn the procedure. Hope to see you there.
