For more information on Desha you could probably talk to Ruth and Fred Haley. They have lived in Desha all of their life they both worked for a public utility company in McGehee. I have been away from there since 1944 and most of my past is a little blurred or blackened by some unpleasantness. Keep up the good work and when I get this collar off - I will try to copy some of the old newspapers that I have until then - Pleasant Happenings. Ruth Desha
