Dear Fellow researchers and friends, I have received many emails, a few calls about the Heritage 2000 book that the Franklin County Historical Society is working on. The project began last year. During my son's tragedy I was not at home for the summer of 2000 and after his death I found their had been problems with the Historical Society. I was not involved so I do not know what the problems have been. However, for the folks that have emailed and called me I have tried to call and get an update on the book. The original date of delivery was December 15, 2000.. Many have been anxious for various reasons. While it appears the book will be out soon. If anyone has done a project of this magnitude you know their are always problems, the copy machine breaks, deadlines not met etc. etc . etc. I would like for you to please direct any questions about the book to: Dorothy Cundiff, President of Retail Merchants- email is rma@cablenet-va.com or call at 540-483-9211 or Linda Stanley at fchs@sitestar.net or call 540-483-1890 for the Franklin County Historical Society. These are the contact folks for the book. I have only tried to get answers to your questions. I am not involved in the production of the book. I contributed stories and photo's and I sold books but this is my only involvement. I appreciate your patience. Sincerely, Donna B.
