There is going to be a symposium in Waleska, Ga. at the end of March. If you attend you will find out things that you never knew about the history of these iron makers. I have talked with Richard Wright many times over the years and he has more enthusiasm about the iron industry in Georgia than I have about the Stroups and that is going some. I believe everyone will have a great time and will learn a lot about what a tremendous role in our family had in the development of the iron industry in the South. You will learn what a brilliant man that Moses Stroup was and his major role in this development.
Currently my health is not good however I am going to make every effort possible to attend. I have about 1 ½ months to get it together. I am really looking forward to meeting Richard Wright and Jim Bennett. I really think that if you are part of this branch are have a great interest in this branch this event is a no-brainer. I can ensure you that everyone will have a good time and learn a whole lot about our family. I look forward to seeing all my cousins and friends so y’all come on down.
Just click on the link for details.
