The Workshop sound like a great event, unfortunately for me, I live too far away to attend, someone please take good notes, especially if you are researching the Arneys in Overton County. I hope to make it back to Tennessee soon, so I can do some research of my own, until then the Internet is my only other option. Have a great time all those that will attend, take care.
