Genealogy - May, 1992

Issue: May, 1992

Dear Editor,
I enjoy The Mountain Laurel, even though getting here late. I like reading about the people in the mountains. I grew up in Virginia in a little place called Lambsburg. Some of my teachers were from Woodlawn. My second grade teacher's name was Norma Thompson and she had a son named Danny. I have often wondered if they were still living. One of my high school teachers was from there. His name was Guynn Smithers. I think he later moved to Radford. If anyone knows either of them, I would appreciate them letting me know.

As the years pass and time changes, we like to go back in time to the old days.

Sincerely,
