Lori, Congratulations!!!!! You should be recognized for everything you have done and contributed to Rock County, both on the internet and off. I believe that your words will make people stop and realize the importance of the history and how soon it can just vanish. You go girl, you are truly awesome for all you have done and in my opinion, you truly deserve to be recognized for your work and contributions.
