Even though I have visited in OH back in the '60s, a great deal of what I saw has been lost. Your work is making me remember a lot, and for that which I was unaware, I thank you even more. This is the area in which I father was born, nurtured and grew to manhood. While he was considered an orator and had very descriptive tales to tell of the area, it remained a mystery. These little bits of history are helping to shed some light on some of the stories he used to tell. Since he was born in 1880, in the area of Greysville, Washington Township, OH, the timing for the transcription is perfect and the subject matter is even more perfect. Thank you again for all the service you render this list. In my opinion, you are a very valued and valuable member.
