Dear Friends, Thank you for the over-whelming response from my newsletter sent out last month. Many of you have sent in membership. I am now collecting queries and stories. Everyone loved Henry Hopkins story about when the first Franklin County car owner meets the horse and buggy. Thanks for the kind responses about the memorial to my son David Allen Hudson. Thank you for sharing with me your tragedy and heartache and sharing helpful information with me. Thanks for some genealogy leads. With everyone working together , we should accomplish much! Sincerely, Donna B. Wilkes Hills of Home-Franklin County, Va. 2935 Iron Ridge Road Rocky Mount, VA 24151 ktrygal1@aol.com
