For those of us living far away these stories etc give us a sense of the places and times we don't know.

I cast my ballot with all those who supported having stories on this list. Drinking coffee from a saucer may be boring to some, but it brought tears to my eyes, remembering my father talk about his beloved grandfather doing just that. My father's family moved up to Michigan when he was only nine, but he had so many Tennessee stories to tell to his Michigander children. Tennessee seemed like a far-away land to us, and the stories were so different from our Michigan experiences. The more I listened to them, the better I got to know my father and *his* people. It was what ultimately got me hooked on genealogy - looking for these hard-working people who lived tough lives that made them strong. Even the sense of humor of the people he grew up with was very different from what we were used to farther north. His stories went a long way toward broadening my understanding of people and their ways. People AREN'T all like the ones I grew up with here in Michigan! Title them STORIES, don't send junk, and hit Delete if you don't want to read them. But keep them coming! They are an important part of our heritage!
