Erin,
Glad you liked that! Yes when Miss Nancy heard my
husband and I were going to Va. (we had emailed over
Melungeon topics) she offered to meet us at Roanoke ,
she sat in libraries with us and showed us around and
took us back to a beautifull lunch at her house ,
table and food fit for a king!! I have a pic. of she
and I together and I still miss her!
Got to get going this morning, sure have enjoyed the
exchange with everyone. You all have a great day!
Jodi
