Leonard! I love that area, but so glad I'm on the coast where it is
cool! :-) I did some "random acts of kindness" projects in Union County and
elsewhere for people who wanted photos of grave sites when I lived there. Found
some really neat small pioneer cemeteries and had a chance to learn a bit about
the pioneers who settled there. My mother actually had fun walking the
cemeteries with me!</STRONG></SPAN></DIV>

things about being an historian is being able to post information online for all
to see! The web took history to another level! It has certainly
helped me in sharing information on my research projects on my historical web
sites as well as gathering information for my historical research. I've met
some great people who happen to be descendants of the people that I am
researching and being able to share my information has been a lot of
fun.</STRONG></SPAN></DIV>
