New Daugherty Clan Blog (Repost for new arrivals)

After recently reading some emails going back and forth among some members of the Daugherty Clan, I thought it might be fun and helpful to have our own blog. Sort of a central place where we can all check for current family information.Thanks to the help from my son Ryan, we set up this blogspot. (Actually, Ryan did all the work . . . I just sat there saying inspirational things like... "It can really do that? ...no, really, can it?" .. and "How does this mousy thingy work again".. Duh)Anyway, we hope that most of our family members choose to use this blog to keep everyone else in the family up-to-date on whats happening within your branch of the family. As with all large families there are always plenty of births, engagements, promotions, and general happenings... oh yeah... and parties. Just general thoughts or comments are encouraged as well.It is my understanding that you can post pictures; video clips (Please keep it clean Dennis); and website links. We can have up to 100 contributors (those who can post a blog) .... To be a contributor you need to be invited.... I will be sending out invitations to D. Clan members for whom I have addresses. If you know other family who would like to contribute email me their name and email address and I will invite them to join( tef_43229@yahoo.com ).Keep in mind that anyone can leave a comment on a blog that has been posted by a contributor.For the heading, I used a photo of Alice Rita (Mom) with a few members of her fan club. It would be good to periodically change the heading photo ... so please send some pics.I only ask a couple of things 1) Lets avoid controversial subjects like politics, etc. ... that's for another time and place 2) If, while reading this, you think it is worth trying, please send the link out to all Daugherty family for which you have email addresses. http://www.daughertythatsme.blogspot.com/ Please especially include younger family members who may be interested... they are really savvy with this stuff and may contribute a lot.As the next generation of Daughertys reach adulthood it appears that the values of family, that are the legacy of Harry & Mary, and that have been handed down by Doc and the Daugherty Girls to their children are still appreciated and valued as something very special. It continues to be the responsibility of each of us to foster that realization.Hope to hear from you all.Tim Feeney
