Hi, would love for Mr.Houp to get in touch with me. I read his book on the Plumlee family when I was 12 years old. I'm 45 now and I have been researching on the family for over 33 years now. Thank you Mr. Houp. I just missed you about 3 or 4 years ago I was in Berryville Arkansas at the court house researching. The kind ladies told me I just missed you by about 10 minutes and that you were there researching Bridges
