Thanks

Wally, I just had a blast looking at your pictures! WOW! Thank you for doing all that work! I know who some of the people are with ? Several are Andrew Hillas. Also, I tried to leave comments to thank you, and talk about the pics, and I could not, do not have a gmail account working . But thank you again, I will show these to my mom when she comes over for the super bowl. Lisa.

Thank You-------

Wally, I just want you to know how much I appreciate the work you do to get news of Hiawatha people out to so many. I lived in Hiawatha for the first time during the mid 40's. We returned in 1951 and spent a couple of years. My father Orville Marvel, and my brother Billy Marvel both worked in the coal mines. Billy married Roylene Babcock.


Keep up the good work. I enjoy reading the list of attendees to the Hiawatha Day celebration. I attended in 2005. I live in Coal Hill, AR, which is the hometown of the Lowe's and Jacksons.

Thank you for a job well done.
