Historian; Executive Director
I am the Executive Director of Leeds Scenic Byway known as Alabama's Stagecoach Route Through Leeds. This byway connects Ashville, Alabama--early home of a known John Looney--and Montevallo, Alabama. It is the longest length of daily traveled stagecoach route between these entities, and it links the culture. I not only serve as Executive Director of Leeds Scenic Byway but also as Director of educational outreach for the John Looney House in Ashville, Alabama. The house has been restored and kept by St. Clair Historical Society since 1972.
Comment: Wes, as you can see, I am a director type and do not have the skills to register with your site blog. It will be next week before I can work with my technical assistant to add a blog to your site. However, I think it is you who sent me the faxed information about the John Looney gravesite along with the sketch of the Missouri John Looney House that no longer exists. I looked at your site today. I wanted you to know that a team of our genealogists are working on a possible connection with your Looneys, and that the neighbors at Willard and Springfield are invited to come to John Looney House, Ashville, AL on October 13, 2007, 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., for a laid back day at a pioneer log home probably very like the one you have lost in your neighborhood. Congratulations on finding and preserving that old grave site. Way to go, Springfield/Willard! It looks like you are into historic preservation and low impact development.
I am guessing at what your email would be; I hope you get this.
I enjoyed our conversation yesterday, and I was glad to hear about your Montgomery Advertiser connection.
Reply if you get this one and you are the agreeable reporter that chatted with me yesterday, August 31,2007.
