Greetings to you all. My father-in-law, James Brooks Akers (son of Tazwell Brooks Akers and Lucy Adelia Hudson formerly of Floyd County, Virginia..) is having his 80th Birthday on Saturday, September 15, 2001. We are trying to have 80 cards for him on his birthday from "cousins and family" and if any of you are interested, please address the card to the following address and we will put it in his birthday box for him to open on his special day. Your help in this will be greatly appreciated.
