50 th anniversary at Rural Retreat

[NW Mailing List]

Ben,

I hope there's a very good chance of one of the photos being published because I submitted a modified version of the discussion board post to The Arrow with a full high-res scan of the 603 photo (NW1630) and an alternative version of Link's well-known photo of Rural Retreat with southbound 17 (NW1634), both courtesy of the Link Museum.  I hope they will appear in the next Arrow.

OWLM is working on a program to eventually make most or all of Link's photos available in some form either at the museum or on the web, but I don't know exactly where that effort stands at present.  They are definitely working on it.

The Dallas Newman you mentioned may well be the same one in the photo I referred to.  As a matter of side interest, there's a connection between Dallas Newman's family and Greek Blackard's family (he was featured in Link's Bank of Crockett photo).  I'll have to check with some of my relatives in the Wytheville area again about this.  They're the genealogy experts in the family!
