He is the true Wheeler historian. HE is GREAT! Almost everything I have is from him. Most of the above info came from his articles in the Highland Echo, which is published at the Johnson co. Library., It costs $10.00 a year. But has been very worth it to me. I have to go to bed now, hope this helped you some. Friends Vicki (very much Wheeler)
