Jeff, you and I are kin. Our people did and still do live in Patrick and Southwest Virginia. My grandmother was Ruth Turner, daughter of William and Martha Philpott Turner. All land, everywhere is God's land, one no better than the other. It is what we do with it that matters. We are good people, we Turners, no matter where we live.
