In Memory of

I'm greatly saddened to report that our long-time coordinator, Patsy Vinson died in July 2026. Patsy joined us in 2010 and has been a big part of our project, managing 5 counties. She will be sorely missed.

Formed in 1870 from parts of Hunt, Hopkins, Wood, and Van Zandt Counties.
Emory is the County Seat.

If you have information, suggestions, or comments that you would like to see here, send to me.
