Lonny,
I have asked the APVA to consider a state wide survey of all the old
frontier forts of VA  and such measures as might be warranted to
preserve an important aspect of our historical heritage. Any comments
you might care to further this recommendation should be forwarded to the
APVA HQ in Richmond.
