After enjoying a delicious supper, everyone got down to the business of discussing future ECAFA cemetery work days and educational trip plans.  Plans include:

Cemetery Work Day in the Lane-Foust Cemetery on January 17, 2004

Trip to Gettysburg, PA March 26-28, 2004

and a trip to Spring City and Salt Lake City, UT in June 2004.  Plans for the Utah trip will be finalized later. 

The deadline for reserving your seat on the bus for the Gettysburg trip is January 25, 2004.  For more information about this trip or to make your reservation, please contact Becky or Linda.

We reviewed the excellent trip to Tryon Palace 9 of our members attended Saturday, March 13th.  Everyone agreed the historical information, actors and the entire atmosphere of New Bern's historic district made it an unforgettable trip. 

We also discussed all the recent work that has been done in the Allred - Trogdon Cemetery.  Everyone applauded Harlan Sexton's hard work in building the display case and new picnic tables.  Thanks also went out to Franklin Allred and Bob Bryan for their chain saw skills.

Discussion then turned to the DNA project and new findings being revealed.  The project has expanded to include the Elrod family.  Two Elrod descendants have recently sent their DNA samples to the lab for processing and the results should be back in 4-6 weeks.  The Allred DNA project is expanding also with a new British Aldred who is participating.  Hopefully results from their DNA tests will be back in time for the information to be published in the next AFO newsletter.

The next meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2004 at 6pm at the Golden Corral in Asheboro.
