Folks, I need a little favor. Somehow the Lodge at Paris Landing is showing less people with reservations there for the DCHomecoming 2000, June 22-24th than they did a month ago! I just spoke with Ms Manners there, and the best thing we can do is for each of you with confirmed reservations to let me know, so I will have your names, as a double-check that they credit Danville Crossing as a group . You others, still making reservations at the Lodge, BE SURE you tell them you are with Danville Crossing, AND also let me know. Lee Sanders Hoover... please reconfirm the suite withMs Manners , as she says she doesn't think she has a suite reserved for those nights! To book a room call the lodge at 1-800-250-8614 and if you ask for Ms Ann Manners, it might be best ( she is there days 10-7 CDT) so we are all in one part of the lodge and get credit for each of you toward the meeting room. Also, keep thinking about things for the silent auction. Almost anything genealogically-oriented or West-Tennessee crafts in good taste would probably be appropriate and sell. As the time nears and plans start will falling in place, I am getting SO excited! I hope the rest of you are, too! Cacky

Tn Queries Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Benton?read=18 Surname: CORBITT, SMITH, GAY ------------------------- There are several of us working and sharing info on the CORBITT,SMITH,and GAY families. We still need information from anyone connected with JOHN CORBITT who was married to WINIFRED GAY in NC. Their son, MEREDITH CORBITT m. ELIZABETH SMITH and they reared their family in Benton county. My desc. was JAMES CORBITT who was married to NANCY KABLER after he moved to Nashville. MEREDITH CORBITT and ELIZABETH SMITH had eight children so there must be some one still in Benton county who knows something of the family. Thanks so much, Anne Sterry Henges.
