Barbara are you of the McKeel basketball and coaching dynasty?

Jean,

Barbara currently is on a nine-day church mission trip to Catacamas, Honduras. However, I am sure she would love to get more information from you about your family as she is the 'resident' historian here at the Democrat! We hope to see her history column and other writings appear in her new blog (http://www.claycountydemocrat.com/blogs/1209/) soon after she returns.

We'll be sure to bring your comment to her attention.

Just didn't want you to think you were being ignored.

Thanks Brad. I am looking forward to communicating with Barbara. Hopefully I can communicate directly with her via e-mail. Are you allowed to give out her e-mail address? I sent her an e-mail with an address given to me by the Democrat that was not certain to be a viable address. If it did go thru she is not there to receive it. Thanks for letting me know that she is out of the country.

Jean:

Barbara is the daughter of the late Les McKeel, indeed one of the members of, as you say, the McKeel basketball and coaching dynasty.
