> Hi John, Have enjoyed knowing David several years now and am glad to have
had a part in the book. We had an exceptional crowd this year. We estimate
200-225. Lots of young people and children.  We also had a good attendance
at the Confederate Memorial Service in the cemetery . Several reinactors who
took part were Quartermans from Savannah I think. David knows the branch.
Keith A Q.?  Anyway, it seemed like old times. The Church looks good but
will be painted in the next year and they steam cleaned the stones in the
cemetery which look gleaming. Mixed feelings on that; the cleaning is
protective which is good but the moldering ambiance of age is gone.  I very
much enjoyed the web site. Will keep in touch.  Lois Hand
