Dear Knox County, Below, is for ref of who's coming to visit. This Reunion/Homecoming is going to need some local Goverment help, i.e. traffic/parking. Does Powell Tn. have it's own city gov. and Police dept? Or does Knoxville supply that part? Thanks and will see you all there. Terri in Knoxville, and Carl from Wichita. P.S. Send City/Police U.S. mailing address Hi Terri & Tennessee Cousins, I have a Official/Guess count of ones coming to July Reunion/homecoming, 149 is the Total and almost 5 months to go, and may reach 500 by then. It is indeed a National event, coming from all over the US to attend. Many, many, Thank You letters for our work in building this event for them. Couple of things I'm trying to tie down: Terri, did you send Welcome letter to the two I forward in last 5-7 days? And have you US mailed copy on Bell's Campground history? About ready to start the PR on the Event, when I get hard copy on Bell's history. A PR agent for Ohio State is coming and has offered to help in making the Press Pk.. If that's ok by you dear Barbara? Do you guys ever think what's happens to this data we type on net? Well it's will be around for "ever" to allow writers to write stories about our lives in the now time. I often go back on rootsweb.com pages archives and read things from 6-7 years ago. One neat thing I found was on a e-mail from a lady in small co. in Missouri in reading the archives. She had a picture of an ancestor and was marked photo by Walter Coffman studios, and wanting to know from the members on County page when there was a Coffman Studio in her town, to date the picture with. Really was a long shot, but for her it came thru. I'm probably only one in the world that could answer it for her. Only thing she had to wait 4 years to get answer to her e-mail. <Grin> A little like our Snail mail>. Hope all are well, happy, and getting ready for spring. With my Warmest Regards, I remain, Very truly yours, Cousin Carl Coffman, Wichita, 2/7/2002 Yours truly, Carl Coffman, Wichita, Kansas "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses Yearning To Breathe Free, The Wretched Refuse Of Your Teeming Shore, Send Those, The Homeless, Tempest-Tossed, To Me: I Lift My Lamp Beside The Golden Door" "Words on the Statue-of-Liberty, In New York City, Harbor, USA" Yours truly, Carl Coffman, Wichita, Kansas "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses Yearning To Breathe Free, The Wretched Refuse Of Your Teeming Shore, Send Those, The Homeless, Tempest-Tossed, To Me: I Lift My Lamp Beside The Golden Door" "Words on the Statue-of-Liberty, In New York City, Harbor, USA" _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
