Can anyone call me at 302-1016 for a possible Record update on the cemetery? The last we wrote was that Gary Dellinger was still persona non grata when it came to discussing the issue, and that the Gillelands planned to go through the court system to force his hand. Did that actually transpire?
Please call today, thanks.
