There is a history of Piasa someone wants to submit and the date is in copyright. Does anyone know the author or, if deceased, her children. An address? "History of Piasa', Illinois. "Material compiled by Mrs. Howard Reno April, 1976" There is a mention of a Pauline Reno, a grand daughter of the founder of the Piasa Mutual telephone Company and was an operator. Would like to be able to use it in its entirety if we can get permission. If not, maybe we can excerpt a bit of it. Thanks.
