He cut my hair when I was a child. What would you like to know? Three of your great grandfathers brothers and one sister still live in the Christiansburg area. I am sure they would be happy to tell you lots of stories about him. My dad Harvey L. Sheppard Jr., (He was called Junior.) and uncle Dan were very close and worked together at RAAP. The store and barbershop buildings were both still standing the last time I was up there in the fall. He first ran the barber shop in a building owned with his older brother uncle Burks Sheppard a little further up the road on 114. He built moved to the store, which he and your great grandmother ran. I rember they lived in the basement for awhile. Write me an email and will be happy to work with you to get everyone together again as we use to at the family reunions. I didn't get up that way when you great grandfather's sister Loraine Hamblin passed away recently. I would like to try and keep in ! touch with as much of the family as possible. I have compiled our families history back to the early 1700's and will be happy to share they information with you if your interested. Donald L. Sheppard "Donnie"
