My brother Danny was killed in Vietnam October, 1968. We had always wondered about how he was killed. Thanks to the site that you posted, I looked up his name and found the story of his death posted by his squad leader. And a picture of Danny just 20 minutes before he was killed. After contacting the squad leader, he is sending me the picture of Danny. Again Thank You.

List Members, The Hogskin Holidays, which were from Sat. 4-1-00 thru Sat. 4-8-00, would be an event that I would recommend to Subscribers. The best of the event for people looking for their roots is held at the County Court House, the walls are covered with old photos of county schools, stores, county buildings, and people. I spent about three hours there myself and saw several pictures of kin that I had never seen. Some of the most interesting pictures to me were pictures of the Summerville School and store building, and the Number 10 school, where my mother went to school. Jr.

Let's have some activity for our board! If it concerns Calhoun County or the people in it, it is appropriate, including current community events, family reunions, highschool reunions, or discussions on the history of our county. In otherwords, we can discuss our families or the history, sharing any research materials we have in order to help others. I have opened the "gateway" to the GenConnect boards which means anyone posting to any of the boards will have their message and information forwarded automatically to our research discussion list. This should make this a more valuable tool for each of us! Carol Smith Calhoun County Site coordinator
