Ah, Fred, I knew I could count on you! Thanks, and thank you publicly to the others who've so graciously replied privately. Y'all are making me feel sorta cozy! Hope I can learn enough about Marshall County to do a good job on it! If anyone has suggestions for a resource to get an overview of the county, I'd love to hear about it. I've checked TSLA and am reading through the things I found there, but if there's somewhere else I should look, please holler! Thanks again!
