Yesterday as we were driving to the coast and passed the Lincoln line, I shared about your work with my student who was with me, and all I have enjoyed learning from your work through your blog.

You were FORTUNATE enough to find a picture of an ancestor in the library? I've said it before..."oh to have pictures."

The library acquired the photographs after the death of the photographer. He took pictures of the locals over several decades.

I wish more of those photograph collections would make it to a library or museum.

Cuz, Thank you for your visit. I believe I met you a few years ago during the arrangements and funeral for my uncle's funeral, Jehu Marshall.
