Right now there are records stored in that basement that needs to be organized, files, recorded in leagers. I live to far away to be of much help but I am sure there are some great history buffs out there that would love to find out what those walls are hiding. We can't depend solely on the folks at the McDwoell Co. Historical Society because they are a small group and working people too , however I feel they would be more than happy to spend a couple Saturdays if they had help. First someone should make contact and find out just what, if anything, is in the works. If they would be open to a few folks comming in to help organize. McDowell Co. Genweb has a great host and I am sure some of the info would be welcome on that site. Lot to think about .........my vote is for lending a helping hand but you know my circumstances. My part will have to be from behind this keyboard. Nothing I would like better than camping out with all thise records......like a kid in a candy store. Brenda
