I am glad to see this happening since have twenty years of research on the McCalls and Owens of both northeastern Georgia, Walhalla, S.C. and the towns of Highlands, Franklin and Cashiers, N.C. My grandmother, born near Rabun Bald in Georgia in 1898 and her dad being the Sheriff of Rabun Country at the time is the reason i am visiting the Foxfire Museum in Mountain City today. Soon, there won’t be many old timers left to tell their stories of life in the Appalachians. Glad to see your are keeping these stories alive.

I think this is an awesome program and a wonderful way to share/preserve a dying Appalachian art. Thank you so much for sharing it. I posted it on Facebook… I’m hoping some of my Haywood County family will think about participating.
