Hey Bethany;
I remember your greatgrandpa, Shorty Spiers, when I was growing up in McNeill. And I worked a couple of summers with his son, Bill Spiers (your grandpa) way back in the late 70's / early 80's. Your dad and I were friends growing up in McNeill - knew Dale and Don Highnote way back when they lived on a dairy farm in McNeill when I used to go over there to play. Yeah, you are kin to a legion of cousins in Mississippi and beyond.
