You are absolutely correct, Bonnie. Keep in touch. Where is your "nick of the woods?" I don't remember if I have sent you information about the books Mom and I have published about Collin County. Attached is my brochure. Email me if you have questions. I'm collecting for two future books: COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, EARLY SCHOOLS and COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, FAMILIES, VOLUME III. Please send me information for either or both.
