Theos-Talk Archives (December 2011 Message tt00098)

In spiritual and even in daily matters, Ingratitude is a serious crime and
few realize how serious it is. The Inner Founders of TS, repeatedly told
Sinnett and others to impress on them on this critical issue.

So I would be remiss if I do not mention about the heavy lifting done by
David and Nancy Reigle in the scanning projects. They had painstakingly
collected excellent photo copies of early issues of Theosophist and when
scanning to digital files was mentioned, they enthusiastically followed
through and scanned all the photo copies in a very short time. Marc
Demarest and Joe provided the technical leadership and their time to
convert the scanned files to form loadable to our server and make them
downloadable. In addition technical help was provided by many and I am
requesting Joe to post a followup listing everyone behind the project so
that we do not miss the efforts of many volunteers here.

Jeff sent me a note commending this blog post and added that very many
others have been helped by what we have made available here.
This particular instance convinces me that a small group of dedicated and
committed volunteers can get things achieved most efficiently and
effectively with very little funding. Whatever funding that is needed in
the Internet era, was taken care of by the few volunteers. Keep tuned for
more projects.
