Carol, It is always good to hear from you. None of the names that Frances Eddings sent re the Herron family rang a bell for me. I have been communicating with Trudy. My fifth and sixth grade teacher was Miss Della Herron. She was a great teacher. She lived with her elderly father,, and they connect with Trudy's line. I remember several of her Aunts and Uncles. Her mother lives in Louisville. I asked her to visit me (and you), but I'm not sure she can.
