Please send me your mailing address. Please send me any queries you want to post. Please send me any short stories about Franklin County,Va. you would like to share. The first newsletter will be hard copy , mailed out to you. I will be mailing these to you in Honor and Memory of my son David Allen Hudson born May 20, 1977 died July 27, 2000.
