They lived directly behind "The Mill" (Burlington) where they worked most all their lives. Pearl was my mother's sister. She died last fall at 92 years old. We had lunch with her at the Senior Center last September. They had 2 boys - Douglas and Carl. Doug lives in Colorado and Carl owns Whitt Photography in Radford (Fairlawn). My wife went to Radford schools and I went to Montgomery County schools - mostly Christiansburg. It's 6° here now, about 90 miles south of Lake Erie. No snow, but the wind is sharp. John in Ohio

Ken: I don't know much about the Whitt family, but I just e-mailed Carl to see what he knows. He said he was working on the Whitt line. Both Jim & Pearl are buried in Westview, as are my father and step-father.
