My brother an I are in your book about Hoffman. I can’t tell you how much we have enjoyed the book. I bought it for Carl to surprise him for Christmas. And he was SURPRISED. I was born in Hoffman. My folks moved to Washington state during WWII. Returned in 1945. In the fall of 1950 moved back to Washington. So we were in Hoffman for five years. Those were the greatest ages to be in that little town. My grandmother was Maggie Bone. Bill Howell was her brother and Alice Brownfield was her sister. You answered so many questions that we were interested in, but have many more. Do you still live in the area? Thanks again for the book. You did a great job. Millie(Green) Widener
