Hello all. Well I am so thrilled. Firstly Michel, the Catalyst, in the emotional and moving experience we are all part of. Thank you so much for asking Annie for help. For the thousands of people who have tried to assist you and succeeded. Its a wonderful experience that by the looks of it is to continue.
May I say that realistically
we will not all be there the day the headstone is actually re-erected! What we need is for Welsby's to be informed that there is world wide interest and people's travel arrangements need to be in place, especially any person from overseas. They are getting free advertisement and will on the day.
My thought is that a specific date be chosen that we all gather at Roberts grave. Due to the fact of people working would it be sensible to have a weekend day to have
The Rededication Service if that is what it is going to be. What do you all think of that? Especially people who plan to come.
Welsbys have to be the ones who move on this, due to public Interest. A mention to them that it will possibly be in the national press
may motivate them. I will personally notify the press especially the Echo.
Regardless of the normal time scale of erecting headstones, I think in any business exceptions can be made. Especially in this case. Its not a "family" job so to speak, maybe a "rooters family" in this one. A lot will have to be arranged.
What do you all think. If Welsbys give a date, MissM can choose a date near to that to organise the get together! MissM is there as is Graham who hopefully will help. I am happy to help in anyway to organise though in Oldham will be happy to join in.
Please let us know your thoughts!
Now don't hold back folks
as I'm sure you won't.
Best wishes and thank you Michel for your comments and gift of Roberts Story!
