because I have inquiries about where to find them and they are now out of print.The Rusk
County Historical Commission does have newer books which may be purchased for $65.00.(I
had a nice note from Susan, telling me that she found the 1982 Rusk Co. Book at an estate
sale, long with a couple of boxes of good stuff, HINT: I hope she will share that good
stuff with us.)
Contact Gloria , and I will get the message to them.
