Thank you!
These pictures have generated an excitement for my continued research.
My grandmother, Willa Lenard-Hancock, attended Claflin University in the early 1900's.
This is great!
Peace & Blessings,

Oh wow George, your grandmother was there? How cool.
I've been wanting to build this page with SC, GA and FL pictures for some time and finally had a chance to do so.
Happy to know it is increasing their exposure for researchers! — Toni :0)
