Hi Folks: Would anyone know anything about Jo Ann Ashley or Wanda Patterson both of Danville and born around 1935. Jo Ann lived with her family near the Baker place on Highway 10 on the way to Ola. Wanda lived with her family in Danville. Her family owned or operated the hotel in Danville during and before World War II. I'm just trying to add a little color to my early life. http://home.att.net/~billcovey/index.html www.1stBooks.com Bill Covey Author of: Watson Is Where It Wuz Creator of: Ol' Tubby Joe Stottlemeyer
