All of the speakers at the HGS Symposium on Oct 28th are published authors and will have their books for sale at the Symposium. Roger Kammerer has recently published "Recollections of Pitt County" which was well reviewed in this month's OUR STATE. In addition he is the co-editor of "Forgotten Tales of North Carolina" a delightful little book of strange tales all over the state. Dr. Bruce Pruitt is a well known abstractor in NC, Tenn, and SC. In my opinion, he is one of the best in the state and is currently working on Craven Co Deeds among other areas and if you research our area sooner or later you are going to work in Craven Co. You can see his list of books at http://members.tripod.com/abpruitt He is bringing me several books as a donation to Heritage Place and the Kellenberger Room. Laura Spence and Dennis Jones are two of the three authors, along with Kay Ogle, of the HGS Jones Co Cemetery Book, vol 1. Understand Vol 2 may be ready by the 28th.
