Dr Brent Tarter will have to decide if this is appropriate. I am writing to thank the very helpful and knowledgeable staff of the Library of Virginia. I have been fortunate to have utilized all the departments of the Library including the Records Center on Williamsburg Road. Since I have checked out 127 books at the Circulation Desk, several staff know me by name. The staff at the General Reference, Archives Reference and Map Rooms have all been very helpful - especially since I was a total neophyte when I first visited 4 years ago. Therefore, I want to show them the product of their efforts on my behalf. I think readers of VA-ROOTS will find this history interesting as well. http://www.milaminvirginia.com/milam_gap.html Sincerely grateful, William F.
