Michael, Thanks for sending the W.R. Miller article. I am not aware of any relation, but he was my bus driver the one year I attended Bethlehem, abt 1975. It was nice reading the story. Regarding the Leavins, they are (for me) abt like trying to figure the Pates.

W.R. Miller of the Bethlehem community... I do not think WR was William Roy Miller. But this needs more research. As for Jackson Leavins; I am stumped. I am not being too much help to you.
