Preserving our history preserves who we are 

Many thanks to The Greenville News and reporter Anna Simon for the wonderful 
article on saving our Lynch family history from the bulldozer. Without our 
history, who are we? Without history, there would have been no Revolutionary War 
for us to have our heroes. Cowpens and King's Mountain are sacred battlefields 
that the federal government thought worth saving. Thank goodness there are still 
good people in the world who support our troops, no matter what war. Mr. Stan 
Brown is obviously a man of vision to be preserving all the historical sites on 
his golf community. Preserving what we were only serves to preserve who we are. 
Too much has been lost already. I would like to encourage anyone who has 
knowledge of a cemetery that might be unknown to advise their local genealogical 
society. Mr. Paul Kankula has done a wonderful job in preserving sites in 
Oconee, Pickens and Anderson counties. He can be reached on the Oconee County 
web site. Great going everybody.
