If I can help in any way or provide UGRR materials, please let me know. As you may have heard, Tara and I have been trying to foment UGRR documentation in Petersburg and next in Delmarva in the spring. Is there someone working on a book on Leonard Grimes? I love to tell people about him (which I learned thanks to you and Kathryn Grover). Can you suggest any sites or programs or libraries/museums in Richmond that we should urge to apply to the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom? "Philip J.
