LETTER FROM AMERICA ...............February 2011

We have had an e-mail from LeeAnn Garton who lives in Idaho, USA. LeeAnn has been researching her family name and discovered the village website. Apparently the word "gar" derives from a fishing spear.

LeeAnn has enjoyed reading all about the history of our village and wondered if anyone would like to correspond with her? Please ask for LeeAnn's contact details via the website.
