Very, very interesting story about the old way of life in Brimson area. I know this is rather misplaced but the only way I see to contact you. Back in 1959 I have been in touch with Melanie Sue Roberts, Route # 1 (or Route Square one) Brimson Missouri. I understand that to-day Brimson just has 23 families left is there anything known about my Sue?

Debbie, thanks for your help in locating an old pen pal friend.
I have lots of Roberts, Hamilton and Stewart family up that way.
