Letter: Thank you for working with so many on the book

Thank you for working with so many to put the book about Bluffton together...
I used to sit with my Grandmother (Ruth Shilling Culp) for hours - listening to stories about Pandora and what life was like when she was growing up.
I never met my Grandfather Milliard Herr, (though I did find his name in the graduating class! in your book) nor did I know my Grandma Herr (although I did meet her and did spend a few holidays) I never had the opportunity of sitting and talking about when she grew up as I did with my Grandmother Shilling.)
Anyways - I enjoyed reading the book - just trying to get an idea of what life may have been like for the Herrs/Burns.
Maybe I should try Genealogy !
Again, Thank You
Margaret Herr Maiello
