This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YS.2ADI/3095 Message Board Post: Dear Friends of the Message Boards, Not even passing the first milestone of recovery on my journey back from completely debilitating health challenges, I oft times fail in my attempt to maintain good judgement. With over fifteen medications in one’s body, there is the possibility that a lapse in better judgement is present. On September 15th, I entered into a conversation between two very renowned researchers as they worked out miniscule differences between themselves, those being our mutual friends of Winnette and Don Summers. My empathy for Winnette was real, however, without observing this interaction unfold to its very pleasant end, I flew into the “fray” which was completely and totally wrong on my part, no matter how one looks upon it. I apologize first for being intrusive in the matter and secondly for the modicum of ill will I posed to any parties concerned. I am a “wanna-be” Henry County historian, being thus for 35 years. My acceptance on these message boards is deeply appreciated as I glean so much information about the people who set into motion the events I chronicle in my ongoing research. As Don so aptly put it, I “tell my tales of Henry County history” in this distinguished forum to give each of you a historic backdrop for your family’s personal history. As a wayfaring stranger here, I feel I have interrupted the cordial flow of exciting interaction that takes place every day. For this I beg your humble forgiveness. So, in the future, when I break into the give and take of genealogical ideas, I will be there only as a raconteur of the rich and colorful tapestry that is the history of Patrick Henry County. It has been made thus by the people whose names you bring forth on this lively board of genealogical data. Your folk, and mine, created this mysterious living being that is old Henry County. God speed to each of you in your quest. Until we meet again on the virtual front porch of Henry County history, I remain Your faithful and obedient servant, Steve
