Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this information available. I now live in Michigan, but my father grew up in Grady and went to Wood before his army service in WW2. I’ve often wanted to know more about Wood and what it must have been like while my father went there and how Wood even came into being. What a fascinating history! And you make it so enjoyable.
Love learning
I have enjoyed listening to your podcast. Hope you’ll continue doing them.
I especially enjoyed the one about Janie Sharp. I grew up hearing this story all my life as I attended church not too many miles from where she’s buried and my grandparents lived in the area.
Keep up the good work.
