David, and Members of the List: I think this would be a great project for us. We could assemble a History of Danville Crossing Region. It could contain early history and settlement, families, events, etc., etc. It could be divided into counties. I'm sure you folks can come up with some other ideas also. You know how valuable it is to find a very small original document or article on some of our history. Well, we need to be thinking of creating those documents and articles for future generations. It would be a shame to loose all those stories that Ira has to tell. We must preserve them for those who follow. Our group has many folks that have a wealth of information to share. Gabby, Ira, Dave, Jan, and most of the rest of us. It would just take a little planning to make a wonderful book of our memories and impressions of this historic area! Dan ----------------- "David L.
