I totally agree with Bob (see below). This baby had an almost 2 year gestation period but was well worth the wait. It certainly is something for all to be proud of. I especially like all the photos dispersed throughout the book. Makes for more enjoyable reading. You're right Bob, the index is super! Thanks to Dorothy Falk's daughter Myra for her ongoing project. All of the O'Fallon History folks did a good job but I must add that a big "hats off" goes to Brian Keller and Dorothy Falk for their persistence and dedication to this long project. Bravo! I especially like page 222. A lot of this book looks vaguely familiar but this section especially...Maybe it is my affinity with dead folks.
