Although I happen to be back down east at the moment am sending prayers and hopes to all my Briggs relatives in Madison County that I do not know .. although I have lived close by you (in Buncombe County) for the last 40 years. Hoping someone of the family will help me figure out our common ground that I know only from this other end of NC. Am not surprised in the least at the brave and wonderful life of Hubert Briscoe Briggs .. God be with him and all of you.
