Surratt Courier

Thanx all for the kind words about my old LINCOLN LOG. I sure wish I did have time to write a column, but I don't. I always give as much credit s possible to the late John Brennan for making the LOG worthwhile for people. Yes, I did all the editing, tied things together, put other news stories in, and added some of my own. But it's sort of like "If a tree falls and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?" Brennan already had a little circle of friends and was quick to spread the "sound." Once he started doing that, everyone else saw a place where they could share their own news, find news, and connect. Word of mouth was great. It all just clicked. Fascinating to think that it all happened before we ever had the internet! As for digitizing the LOG, maybe I will, some day.
DON'T FORGET, THE SURRATT SOCIETY LIBRARY HAS A COMPLETE SET. The only thing wrong with it is that when the index was compiled by Arthur Kincaid, I discovered that I had screwed up pagination in a few issues, as well as a couple of issue numbers!
