This is the news I received from a cousin of mine in Pittsfield about the Pike County Historical Society When I asked - to try & get my book I ordered last May 1999 Well....the Historical Society has totally shut down as of Oct. 1, and will remain closed until May 1st. I finally reached Betty Lacy, and told her I was just checking on a friend's order. She said there was a pile of checks and orders they simply didn't get to before closing----and it was their policy not to cash checks before sending things out. Anyway, I asked if I could simply pick up the order, and she said no. There is a store in Pittsfield that is suppose to be selling books for them, though. I asked how many books were for sale, and was told maybe four or five. When asked about the combined atlas you were interested in, she thought they should have it. (I can check tomorrow.) Anyway, she thought she would try to get with the people who she was holding checks to see if they still wanted their order or to cancel. Said she was terribly busy. (It's to bad someone doesn't take over managing the Historical Society.) I never dreamed getting a book right here in town was so complicated <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A LITTLE LAUGHTER A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Visit me at <A HREF=" http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~glendasubyak">Glenda's Rootsweb page</A>
