I'm sorry. I was hoping someone might have a quick answer on who the two communities were named after - which of the Vinsons was Vinson named after, and who was Lena. I drive through the two communities, and I have relatives in both their cemeteries, I discovered this week, but I don't know the history of either community.<BR>

I should have been clearer.<BR><BR>Roy <BR>
