Gary - a little etiquette your way. You have posted requests for many obit lookups on the internet, and volunteers have donated their time to look them up and respond to you. BUT, you rarely if ever respond with a simple "Thanks" "Thank you" or "This helps me - great." Volunteers who do look ups have noticed and your name is one that I and my friends are no longer responding to. When a response was sent to you for Blanche, and it was received, you immediately asked for another one for John with no thanks in order. Obits were located for John below, but please, take the time of 30 seconds in the future to reply with a simple "Thanks. I appreciate your looking it up for me." Believe me, searching, copying and transcribing takes far more more time to locate your requests than 30 seconds!
