KUDOS Love what you are doing! Tom Thraen You are keeping the faith and the traditions going. Thank you for all you do to support the retention of our heritage, of which the Boykin family
is such an important part. David Woodcock, TAMU Dept. of Architecture I have been using your site for a while and just found that you have added a section on veterans. I have several
photos and documents about my father and would like to add them. They are scanned in my computer as .jpeg files. Can you use them like that or would I have to get you the originals so
that you can scan them in? The site is a great asset, keep up the good work. One suggestion I would like to make is that if possible it would be nice to have a list of recently added
information. John Vitopil Thank you for serving as one of the most gracious and active co-hosts I have had the pleasure of working with on these oral history training workshops. Will
McWhorter, THC
