We want to wish a Happy Easter to all of our friends and family.
As a movement whose leadership is overwhelmingly volunteer, the Boy Scouts of America recognizes the need to acknowledge the invaluable services that men and women render to youth. Of the awards that the BSA presents each year to those on the local council, regional, and national levels, the Silver Beaver is among the most prestigious. This recognition is granted by one’s own peers in Scouting for distinguished service to youth. (Other BSA awards, by comparison, are granted only to those who have completed a prescribed course of study or have participated in special training sessions.)
Established in 1931, the Silver Beaver Award is presented within a BSA local council for distinguished service to young people. The Silver Beaver is one of the highest awards bestowed on adult members of the BSA. Less than 20 people receive this award each year.
Linda will be recognized during the Greater St Louis Area Council Awards Dinner in May. Please join me in congratulating Linda on this distinguished honor.
It was discovered via a search engine that Lillian, a recent addition to the Arconati Family, is not the first one to bear that name. Please take a moment and view the results at the St. Louis Public Library – Obituary Index for 1993. Search the page using your browser for the following entry:
ARCONATI, LILLIAN (nee Daigger) 11/1
The parents, Jon & Kelly have been interviewed and it sounds like this one is a simple and interesting coincidence. It should be noted that the new Mom & Dad are doing fine and adjusting well.
Finally, Ruby Herod was interviewed as well and it is possible that she knew the older Lillian, though it was not 100% clear at this time how she was related to us. More details will come later.
Born tonight (2/24/07) at 11:15pm to Jonathan Arconati and Kelly Stumm-Arconati, weighing in at about 6 pounds, welcome Lillian Grace Arconati.

3000 Visitors to Arconati.us!
Back in March of last year, it was reported that we had 2000 visitors to this site. The last year has been very good.
As you can see, we have reached 3000 visitors. These are visitors to the root site of arconati.us, not the entire network of sites. We have also recently seen a rise in visitors to all sites within this domain. Here is a screen example shot of Google Analytics stats for just the last week (2007/02/07 through 2007/02/13).
We are wishing you a Happy St. Valentines Day from the Arconati Family. The American Heritage Dictionary defines "Valentine" as follows.
- A sentimental or humorous greeting card sent to a sweetheart, friend, or family member, for example, on Saint Valentine’s Day.
- A gift sent as a token of love to one’s sweetheart on Saint Valentine’s Day.
- A person singled out especially as one’s sweetheart on Saint Valentine’s Day.
For those that might be interested, here is a video showing how to say "Valentine" in sign language.
See more at the MSU‘s Comm Tech Lab.
Several photos for the Arconati Family can be found available online for any family member interested. Please note that at this time it is against our policy to display images of children without parental consent.

Though this is long overdue as a news posting, since almost everyone already knows, this needed to be posted here for anyone that missed it.
Last summer, the couple promised themselves that they would try again and thankfully, they are going to be blessed with a son this spring.
See Jim’s blog post for more information and to learn the name they have picked out.
