My dad was too--born in Harlen Co., KY and raised in Lee Co., VA
Hey RHatcher--where abouts? You may not be far from me.

God then made man. The Italians for their beauty. The French for their cuisine. The Welsh for their voices. The Germans for their cars. And on and on until He looked at what He had created and said, "This is all very well, but no-one is having fun. I'll have to make an Irishman."
sand.... My family, Dad's side was from Bedford Va., mom's side was from Willis Va., both are kind of small areas, as far as population goes, mostly agricultrual industry, ( plus a bit of good "bootleg" liquor) ! Still , Franklin County is one of the best areas to get good sugar or corn bootleg !!!
I'm not familar with that area but if it's in the Blue Ridge it must be beautiful.
OK, I looked Franklin County up. my Mom grew up in Pittsylvania Co. near Danville and went to school at Radford. My uncle lives in B-burg where he taught at VT for years. My Dad and his dad and his dad and many of my uncles went to VT also. I've been to B-burg and Danville but not Franklin Co. as far as I know--unless we passed through an the way back and forth.
Please forgive my mistakes, i've finallly decided to take part in forums, especially in "Fun N Games" to begin; but my english isn't very "sure"... Then, don't hesitate to rectify or ignore a post which is meaningless!
