Can you tell me where in town your family lived, the street perhaps? After the TB scare was over, some sanitariums continued as regular hospitals. If I can find out where it was, I will try writing to see if there is still a hospital there. >> Marilyn, This is only the memory of a small child - however i do think it is true. My family lived in Tryon , some in downtown - others on Howard Gap Road. I also had an aunt lived in Hendersonville - could be there as well. good luck leigh
