Hi Elaine,

You were right when you ask about Borden Rd. That small road and surrounding
area was/is Borden or I suspect the right name was Borden Shaft except that
the shaft part was the mine shaft and since it isn'tt there anymore I guess
they just call it Borden. My address was Borden Rd. for 30 odd years until
Fedx and UPS got into the act three years agoand now thery tell me it is
Md. Savage Rd. That is what I have to put on on all my boxes when I leave
Fla. next week. It is very confusing and if I don't put the address they
want they call and ask where I am located, sometimes I'd like to tell them
to just hunt around I'm not too far away but of course I won't.
Enjoy, Virginia
