I want to talk about old cemeteries, why they are important and what you can learn from them.

In terms of my research i , focused on the virginia piedmont, specifically areas in virginia, amherst county, nelson county. These are scientifically chosen. It had to do with where i lived and the counties i commuted to to go to work. [laughter] ms. Rainville it means if you are asking on counties not on that route, i will

Yesterday 300. Many who are still here say they have lost everything and have nowhere else to go. The tears start to flow.
