I have and continue to enjoy teaching others who clearly love the stories about this area. Over the next while, I shall share some of the research information that I have been busy compiling these last few months on this blog. Sometimes, I may even host a guest--perhaps a student who has conducted original research on a local history person, place or thing who wants to share his or her work.
