I have met with John several times in my visits to Fauquier County and enjoyed them immensely. The first time I met John Gott was at the old Heritage Society Building in Marshall and I was smart enough to bring a tape recorder along. LOL John just started talking away and I asked if it was okay if I taped the conversation rather than try to write it all down...he was talking way to fast for me <G> I have loved working with John and the others at the Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Society and will miss the phone conversations and those in person as well. He was a wealth of knowledge and a joy to be around. We will all miss him a great deal. Sandy P.S. Jim, I had gotten permission from John to post the articles he had written in the Fauquier Heritage & Perservation Society Newsletters and will try (can't promise how soon) to get them retyped and sent to you to upload to our Fauquier County Website. I think that would be a nice honorarium for him. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Burgess" <jim@promobiz.biz> To: <VAFAUQUI-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 12:33 AM Subject: [VAFAUQUI] John Gott a legendary Historian of Fauquier County, Virginia > Dear Fauquier County, Virginia Genealogist, > > Just wondering what memories or stories we have of Mr John Gott! > > Jim Burgess > Fauquier County, Virginia > USGENWEB > > > > ==== VAFAUQUI Mailing List ==== > Visit the Fauquier County USGenWeb Home Page! > http://www.rootsweb.com/~vafauqui/fqva.htm > Be sure to bookmark it!!! > >
