Kay, I'm sorry to hear about your mother! I would be happy to help plan and communicate something for all settler's descendants for next year! I posted a message asking if anyone was planning to attend and I called the Settlers Day Organizers but from their reaction, I knew there were no plans and it was really too late to get anything going. It was nice that they did have two areas where they hung poster boards with some history and pictures. They need to have a designated meeting area where descendants can meet, sign in, give information about their family connections and how they can be reached each year. On the other hand, there may not be enough participation to do this. Maybe some of you "mail buddies" can respond with your ideas! I found Robert Cecil McDaniel there but he did not know enough to hold a good conversation about my WEATHERRED's anyway. He had his books at a table to purchase and likes discussing them. Happy Thanksgiving! Walter McLendon
