All, The Scott Co, TN website was updated tonight. Drop by and take a look. You never know, you might find something you like. A list of significant additions and corrections is listed below.

Tim, You are an absolute love! As busy as you are you still find time to put so much into the web site. I am truly impressed! I don't know if Kathy Alvey is in this list, my entire family thanks her. We have always wondered about the child in the picture with Taylor and Nancy West. It is a great piece of the puzzle. Thank you so much Tim, Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Timothy N.
