Marjorie I would very much be interested in your articles Sharon In a message dated 6/18/2008 4:33:58 A.M.

If you get the Historical Society's newsletter the Glade then you would have seen two articles I submitted about the Education in Gallia County. These were from a thesis written by a great-great-aunt who taught at Huntington East High School in Huntington, WV. Unfortunately, the series will not be continued because there were some at the Historical Society that felt they could not print an original paper without changes which was done without my permission. I felt if it could not be printed as she wrote it then it should not have been printed at all. I have considered having my son-in-law set up a website for me to post all the historical items that I have so others could enjoy them. While sorting through boxes I have found some very interesting items that is between things I have and things my mother-in-law had. As I get things organized I will try to put pieces of information on the web list and if anyone would like to read more then I can send it to you personally. Currently, I am working on transcribing my Great-grandmother Emma "Grandma" Gatewood's diaries of her hiking the Appalachian and Oregon trails. This is a long process as they are very small notebooks and have to be blown up on the computer so I can read them. I have already transcribe another family members diary with many dates of births, deaths and marriages.
