BOOK REVIEW from the Montgomery Advertiser 7/7/02 regarding the Montgomery County Heritage Book
"Some sincerely moving little remembrances of people who would never appear in any book about pioneers or founders of anything except maybe of their own little piece of the community that most of us inhabit. Rich, poor, black, white, distinguished and not so, you'll find it all in this wonderfully entertaining book. And no doubt, you'll find lots of people you know, or knew, in it."
