Virginia Room Open House

I was at the open house at the Virginia Room last evening. I met with Keith and his Wife over at Roanoke Found. There was a decent crowd at the event. I was able to do a little bit of research while I was there. If I had more time on my hands I would spend more time at the Virginia room. I was able to find a couple of leads, which I will research at a later time. I also found another website which holds some info on Roanoke with an interesting name: There is nothing to do here. Check it out and let me know what you think. The networking/growth that this blog and the history of the Fire Service in Roanoke City continues to gain at some times astounds me. I really do enjoy hearing from all of you. Mostly I hear from my brother/sister firefighters in person which is enough of a reason to continue doing what I am doing. Furthermore, I have continued to hear from more and more of you via email. Most of what I hear, either face to face or by email/comments, is that you enjoy what you are reading, to offer information, to offer a correction, to give me a lead on info. I appreciate all of this, and I answer every email, and almost every comment. I have to admit that when I began this blog I had no idea it would gain this much readership, or appeal to so many people. So as long as you keep on reading, I will keep on typing.
