Hey Gracie, Long time since we talked. I was born in Glen White way back. I lived short times in Crab Orchard and Midway. Most of my young life and teen years were in Beckley. I still attend reunions for Woodrow Wilson and Sophia High. I know most of the names people are researching from the people I grew up with and friends of my families. My ties are in Fayette and Wyoming County. Is there any other list you are planning to do? I know about those long cold winters in Kansas..Norma Straughan Russie Gracie Stover wrote: > Hi; > My name is Gracie Stover, and I am the new list owner for Raleigh > Co.....
