It will be fun to keep in touch on this terrific web site--I miss you, girl, and hope all is well. Have your ears been burning? I've been spreading your name around.... Any chance you're going to the Conference in Gatlinburg? It would be a blessing to see you again! love and hugs, Leeny

He is a huge fan of the Kennedy guy that writes so much about these folks. Lots of folks here with names such as Mullins and Collins - definate Melungeon ties.

Did you ever see the outdoor drama that closed many years ago about the Melungeons? I believe it was called "A Walk Toward the Sunset." I saw it about 30 years ago and that's what sparked my interest.
