Ms. Toole, you mentioned a "Reynard Toole's, Sr.'s Toole manuscript done in 1970-1972 along with Geneva Eubanks information about that time". Is this manuscript of Reynard Toole's, Sr available at a local library? Also is Geneva Eubanks's information available? -------------- Original message from "Vivian Toole" <vtoole@inu.net>: -------------- > To-Toole, Aiken and Barnwell List Members and Bill Hooten and Larry Scott, > I am still following the previous Toole/Gantt thread that Bill started > on the Aiken list as a Gantt researcher.
