to Howard\If this saint did what I think they did they deserve the celestial kingdom!!!!\I can't imagine any way of doing this but one at a time. At 2 minutes per entry do you know how many hours I think they spent on this?\

And this is just the first image!!!!


No malicious intent here. Where is the TRASH OR DELETE BUTTON? HOW DO I TURN THIS IN? (IS THEIR CRY)

What tenacity! I want them on my team.

From all my understanding of how all the buttons and tools work I can calculate no way of doing this except for long hand. One at a time. They deserve an award.\:) @@@So Brandon what is the big deal? This poor indexer repeated the same 4 documents over and over to get 58 records! On the next image they did them 93 times, then 84 times, then 39 times, then 38 times. =302. At 2 minutes per entry they spent 604 minutes =10 hours. They didn’t know how to delete entries and move to the next image so instead of doing 20 they did 302! It is impossible to use the copy and paste button or the fill down button when every entry is not a repeat of the previous one. What does it mean? Last Thursday EHC said that Spanish indexing is down 50% compared to a year ago. Our good old indexers don’t know how to use the new web indexing program! And this sweet saint endured to the end! Argh! I hate repeating work. . . . @@@ monday night continued. It is June. I have been keeping my secret long enough. I shared it 3 times last week. Elder Tony Minardi, Elder Lynn Ellsworth and Sister Mary Anne Walker all know my goal this year is a million reviewed records which means about 5K a day. That is an absurd goal for most people. Unfathomable. But I have worked into it. @ While my 4 students were indexing in my SS class yesterday I told them some indexing stories. The last one was about how boring reviewing is. Not even being able to use the keyboard! Just clicking on my mouse. I told them I do 1K with my right hand and then 1K with my left hand. They gained some insight. @@@ 


William H. Berg Jr. (Bill), beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and loyal friend passed away Friday evening June 22, 2018. Bill was born August 15, 1938 in Salt Lake City to William H. and Frances May Hoggan Berg. On January 15, 1959 he married Jewel Jensen, to whom he was later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple.

Bill was an All-State athlete in three sports at South High School. He was an undefeated pitcher his junior season, leading the Cubs to the 1955 State Championship. He was recruited by the Washington Senators and offered a contract by the New York Yankees. He continued in sports for many years as one of the top baseball umpires and football officials in the state, umpiring three state baseball championship games and officiating in four state championship football games. He was named to the Utah Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. He served in the Utah National Guard in 1955~1963. He worked for 32 years as a customer service agent for United Airlines.

Bill knew how lucky he was to have Jewel as his eternal companion and best friend. He loved going to University of Utah football games and was a long-time season ticket holder. He loved Utah Jazz games, and rarely missed a game, watching in person or on TV. He absolutely loved going to games with family, especially his kids and grandkids. After retiring from the airline, he was proud to be on the staff that opened Stonebridge Golf Club, working there for several years. He took every opportunity to play golf, his two holes-in-one were among his greatest thrills. Bill loved to travel and took many opportunities to take family on short trips. He loved his family very much and grew to love the three small dogs that lived with them. His word was his bond. If Bill told you he’d do something or be somewhere, you could take it to the bank.

Bill is survived by his wife of 59 years, Jewel; brother Paul (Joan); son Scott (Renee); daughters Tammy Payne (Jeff) and Tracey Jensen Stofleth (Jon); grandchildren Bryce Walkenhorst, Shannon Barber, Rodney Wheeler, Amanda Talbot, Allie and Kimmie Hickle, Chelsea and Stephen Yount, Skyler and Austin Berg; and six great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents; his triplet daughters Becky, Debbie and Sherri; and granddaughter Randilyn Wheeler.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, June 30, 2018, 11:00 a.m. at McDougal Funeral Home, 4330 South Redwood Road, where viewings will be held Friday, June 29th, 6-8:00 p.m. and again prior to services from 10-10:45 a.m. Sports team apparel welcome at the viewing and funeral. Interment, at a later date at the Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Hey Brandon, You may remember that I went to SLC for my Aunt Rose’s funeral last year. Uncle Bill, above, ran the TV with sports 24/7, and had dementia. Luckily
Aunt Jewel tried to keep his door closed that night I slept there. I was gone before the sun came up. My cousin Junius Paul Jensen had invited me to stay the same place he was staying, with them that night. With my wacko parents I can never tell what to trust and what not to trust from my past. I was the oldest child but Uncle Bill never seemed anything but a sports fanatic to me. I had no idea he was a great pitcher at his high school (South) as a junior!
