This contributor is honored to join the ranks of so many who quietly and purposefully remember those upon whose shoulders we stand. Herbert Spencer's well-known saying, "What I need to realize is how infinitesimal is the importance of anything that I can do, and how infinitely important it is that I should do it," may succinctly sum the obsession up for me. Time, trail, and that we made a meaningful difference are important to each of us, genealogist or whomever, and that is just one reason we choose this.

Contributor attended Centre College and Eastern Kentucky University, is a retired government employee, is powerfully grateful for a wonderful white wave and a knowing dragonfly, and interests are Scottish poetry, English literature, theatre, music, art, and history. Also grateful for the magnificent examples of those exceptional people who have inspired and awed me during and since my childhood in Danville, Kentucky.

About FG: When a soul passes from our midst, left behind is the story of the choices and endeavors--yes, the tribulations, and as well the loves and aspirations, the contribution to perhaps the multitudes and to the special few. In the myriad of moves that we make, we leave in place and time the indelible marks of our being. Whether others note in any database may be of less than measured significance; because truth and acts remain, so long as the universe exists, and changes not an iota. For those who agree with this holding, and even those who may not, the offer that our mere touches of the keyboard transcend the here and now and return or reintroduce us to that other place and time though ever so fragmented, and the bygone faces and their stories--is special indeed. To remember and honor those who have gone before us, those who have personally led us, or reared us, educated, or paid a kindness forward, or perhaps have loved us--that is what leads me to this database of transcendence; verily as their souls, their stories live on. In this myriad, we connect -- breath, beat, and keystroke. Hearts of hearts, together again!
