I just wanted to thank all of you for your contributions to the ALCWMB in August. The total number of postings for the "New" board which officially opened August 3rd was 1,012. The old board received an additional 28 postings, giving us a total of 1,030 postings for the month.

Our #1 contributor for the month was Alan Pitts. Alan is not only a prolific contributor but I'm sure I speak for all when I say the quality of the historical content in his postings is outstanding. Thank you Alan!

Our top 5 contributors for the month were
1. Alan Pitts
2. Hayes Lowe
3. Hoyt Cagle
4. Ken Jones
5. John Carter

I and others will certainly tell these gentlemen how much their efforts for this board are appreciated; however, here's a copy of an email, much like a couple of dozen emails I receive each month which says it best.

THANKS JIM FOR THE SITE!! WITHIN 12 HOURS OF POSTING A QUERY, I FOUND INFORMATION I HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR, FOR YEARS!!

Though the appreciation for her find was directed to me, in reality the praise and appreciation is due to each one of you for your willingness to help others in their historical and genealogical research.
