Hi Debbie, thanks for the kind invitation to visit Flowerdew for this affair. I hope we'll have been able to have had some members of our genealogical group there. However, most of us are far out of range of Virginia so I would be surprised if you had more than one or two of us at the most. For a long time now I have assembled bits and pieces of microfilm, articles, etc. planning to do an "article" on the Poythress/FD100 relationship for the Poythress webpage at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~poythress/poythressmaster.htm On completion and blessing by all concerned I had also planned to make it available in case you wanted to put it on the FD page. As you have correctly surmised, it strikes me that the FD site is long on archeaology and general history and by necessity somewhat short on the "people links." The "people" just have to be dug out of a multitude of sources one at a time and "put together" and that is not a job quickly done. Amid a whole gang of other priorities this one simply dropped off my radar screen for which I apologize. The "members" represented by the Poythress listserver probably have (in the aggregate) about as much information on this Poythress/FD subject as any so I'll make it my job at some point in the near future to try to corrall as much as our members may have into a draft "article" for their (and your) approval and revisions. In the meanwhile, if you wish to visit the Poythress website (address above) I suspect you'll find a nougat or two hidden about as extensive work has been done, just not much on FD. Although most of the material I have personally collected is in "paper" form, I do have 8 or 10 random FD100 files that I would be happy to send to you. The caveat is that they are totally unorganized and range from such things as WPA study papers (available at the Library of VA site), e-mails from people who may or may not know what they are talking about, etc. Just let me know if you're interested. I can either zip the stuff into an e-mail attachment or mail you a floppy, whichever is easier for you to handle. Best wishes to you and the other dedicated people who have kept this significant and historic site alive and breathing through your efforts. We all sincerely thank you. Maynard (John M. Poythress)
