Carol, I sure do cherish the trip we made up Rock Castle Creek now more than I had. He was always very helpful whenever I gave him a call.

Pilson Truman, Thank you for putting the obit information online. It was the most distressing news I've heard in a long time. Mr. Pilson and I have gone on tours of cemeteries of Patrick County on several occasions and I have grown to love him and value him as a dear friend. His contribution to genealogy has been remarkable and we will all miss him. Again, thanks for sharing this heartbreaking news, because not living closeby, I wouldn't have known except for you. Carol
