John: I have no information about the Vackettas but my mother lives in Danville and has some friends named Vacketta who are probably related. I can perhaps get an address or phone number from her. I think they might live between Danville and Westville. It may take a while as I live in SC. Hopefully within the next week I can find them - if lucky, they may have an e-mail address. This Mary Louise may have been his mother. Marv Hoppin hoppinm@aol.com
