That is the human side, as you say, that brings them to life. And yes, contrary to most folks, I'd like to know the mistakes and misjudgements they made along the way to really add to the "human element". I'm coming over to the HS to get some lists from Becky for sp. ed. federal reports. I'll put a copy of the eulogy and mine and Melissa's comments to each other about it in your box. As my dear and colorful cousin, rdea, says, "Blessed be those old times not forgotten." bw > > At 11:38 PM 11/18/98 EST, you wrote: > >Is there an email address for Drew Co Historical Museum? > >Thanks, Bettye > > no....no email > > Bill, if I were a descendant of your Grandpa Glennon, or a relative either, > I would really have appreciated that copy of your eulogy; I'm not related, > and I did anyway.
