Wilmer, I did an inventory of the Hartman/Leatherman Cemetery and sent it to Wayne about a month ago. I got an answer saying he would fill it in shortly. I have been by his house quite a few times in the last couple of weeks but have not stopped by to see him. It looks like quite a bit af activity going on there . Maybe he is getting ready to move. Probably wishes he was in Florida this week end. Izetta Barbour > [Original Message] > From: Wilmer L.
