From
Ethel Lawson, 511 Sandalwood Drive, Venice, FL 34293
In Winter
Park, Florida (the Orlando area), can be found ROLLINS COLLEGE, a beautiful and
prestigious school. Among other things it boasts of the Cornell Fine Arts
Center, which displays permanent and changing exhibits of American and European
paintings, decorative arts and sculptures.
Ed.Note:
I have heard that there is a definitive history of BENJAMIN CASON RAWLINS, the
Confederate Hero of the War Between the States, in the Archives of ROLLINS
COLLEGE. Perhaps one of our subscribers who lives in the area might look into
that

Thought
the subscribers might like to know about a Query & Help Exchange Newsletter
known as the MI0 CONNECTION, for ancestors from Michigan. Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. $1.00 per query, plus cost of copies. "Friends" do the
research, and Eleanor has had great success with a couple of her queries. She
states she had them contact members of a local genealogy club with like names
and found living relatives she didn't know about.
