Dan,
Please leave me a comment with your contact information. I won't publish it with your private information, but will make sure Gerry gets it.
Thanks!!
Gerry and Maria Barker spoke at our Founders Day Lecture Series here in Pocahontas, Arkansas, Saturday. They gave wonderful presentations on early frontier life. I highly recommend them as speakers.
