    3. Doris, Yes, that book is still available. It is $25 plus shipping. Tamara Altizer gave a e-mail address, for them and that is the one I have, but apparently you can get to it. You might try going to it from Cyndi's List. There snail mail address is: Tazewell Co. Historical Society, P O Box 916, Tazewell, VA 24651-0916. Betty -----Original Message----- From: C.
