Hi Tim and All, Tim, you might try the Wise County Historical Society; PO Box 368 Wise, VA 24293, 540-328-6451, or try sending an email to Rhonda Robinson at [email protected] To all of you, I want to let you know that I was saddened to learn of the death of Ganell Marshall's husband Darvin. He passed away yesterday morning and I have not heard about funeral arrangements. If any of you know, please let me know. For those of you who don't know Ganell, she is one of the group responsible for putting the Appalachian Quarterly together. She also is very interested in the preservation of Wise County history.
