Correspondence from Brian Smith, Route 5 Box 50B, Killen, AL 35645 Dear Vicki, Thanks so much for your call and contacting me. You'll never know how much it meant to me, especially being from my own surname line. I was overwhelmed with delight to get the photo of G.W. Smith and Flora! I never dreamed I'd see a photo of him. I wish my dad could have lived to see it. I am still sorting through the info you sent. I will send mine on to you shortly, as soon as I can get it all together. I am sending you payment for the photo. I can't thank you enough. I am sending the copy from the Bible page on to you. Thanks again so much and I be back in touch shortly if the Lord's will. Your friend,
