 Starting in March 0f 2021.  Until I remove this placard, it will remain "Under Construction"  It will take awhile because of other projects that are on going.  Only so much retired time to get pages built.  During 2020, Karen and I spent a day taking new pictures of as many Churches in the county and schools as we could find.  Any new material that comes our way will go into this Churches Project.  Any contributions will be appreciated.  Thanks, Jim
