Rich: Just wanted to let you know I received a copy of your book yesterday to put in my husband's stocking. I ordered it through my mother so it wouldn't show up on any of our records and would be a true surprise. It's lovely, and is exactly what he's asked for several times. I was so sick of hearing, "wonder where that is..." Now he'll have the answers. So many of the sights are so close, including the Nolichucky River (about 15 miles away), I'm afraid I may end up having to find out exactly how Hawkeye spent his winter months.
It was on the news last night that the new swinging bridge on Grandfather Mtn. opened yesterday. Maybe I'll be able to make it all the way across without breaking out in a sweat next time! YRH
