"PREFACE: Old Pirate Lane"
 |
This is a quick resume about our little Lane. Visitors to the Lane often ask us about its beginning, and, as we (the Runyards) seem to have been living here the longest, I thought it time to set down just a few of the things I remember, or have, in asking questions, been able to hear other scraps of history. I am sure all who live on this rustic lane are used to visitors saying they would like to live here!!! I hope you enjoy this short, and by no means, complete rural history. G.M.T.R. |
