Hi Mark,
Have wanted to come since retirement, but just been busy on those nights. Hoping to come this month to hear Dr. Feller. I heard him once when he spoke at one of the ETHS summer programs. He’s an interesting fellow. His talk then really made me interested in Jackon. Hope to see you then.

When was the old Dandridge Elementary school built, excluding the “new” addition. Since the former Maury High school, when was the latest Maury High school (now, middle school) built?
