Why, heavens to Betsy, Norene -- Vicksville is in the heart of "Vick Country" in Southampton County, VA and it is indeed named for that family we all know and love so much. I suspect that there may be a bus tour of the area as part of the reunion and that Vicksville will be on the tour. Descendants of Joseph2 lived in the area (I think some still do). The pending Newsletter has (I think) some neat stories about the Vicks who lived in that area in the 19th century. As soon as the reunion plans are complete, we will get the Newsletter in the mail and hopefully stir up a lot of interest in this year's gathering! It's windy in Philadelphia today, too -- but nothing like those incredible winds you get in New Mexico.
