Robert: The books were the 80th Ann. of Ringwood, OK. I have Vol. 2 and I think Vol. 1. The front page doesn't say Vol. 1, but page 1 , is titled Memoirs -- Wilda Craig Lee. Page 4 is "My Mothers Claim" I would like to find out more info on a Cottage Hotel that Presley & Ida Courntey ran , it was located on Main St. I think there is a Gas Station there now, or it was 10 yrs. ago. Was told Presley & Ida later on moved to Meno and ran a boarding place also. Don't know the name of it. Do you know where I could get some info about Ringwood on internet or does the Chamber of Commerce possible have something. Would you please e-mail me there address. Thanks for your help.
