I just have to tell you guys how much I love this list. I don't participate much, but I read every post and learn more here than any other list I am on. Last month I got in trouble on one of my Yahoo genealogy lists for sharing a turn of the century "Dear John" letter a woman from DeKalb, Texas had written my rascally great grandfather. Several people got really upset with me. I pointed out all I had learned from the Red River list from off topic rambling, but they remained upset, so I removed myself. Their loss! This list is rich in the history of the county, the culture and the way of life in this part of the country, then and now. Plus there is a huge exchange of family information as well as other information. You just never know what little tidbit of information might lead you to something wonderful about your heritage I am still grateful to our dear departed Eddie for emailing me a picture of Avery circa 1923.....the year my Dad was born there. I absolutely treasure the picture. That wouldn't have happened on any other list but this one. You guys are the best!!!!! Warm regards from Texarkana; Nancy
