A NEW BOOK
June 2010 ............
I'm tackling another book to promote our county history a bit further. Our county (especially Denison with the abundance of large homes that once were elegant and well thought of) is a gold mine. If we allow our past memories to dwindle, our roots will become weak and soon our heritage in this rich countryside will be gone. Through books and education, perhaps the generations to follow us will recognize the joys, tears and hard work that went into the land that we so fondly call home - Crawford County Iowa.
Please consider joining me in this venture - I appreciate your support and prayers with yet another book about to be born. Suzi Barnes

There MIGHT be another book in the air!......
There might be another book in the air........but this time concentrating on a bit larger area than just Denison and maybe some personal tale's from individuals who have closet cobwebs to share. teehee (: How's that for a hint.... (just teasing). I think it might be worth pursuing though. Food for thought, huh!
