How Letters to Virginia came about

When Barb Winters volunteered to sort, read and organize the six boxes of old letters, photos, diaries and other records dropped off at the local History/Special Collections Department of the Alexandria Library, she had no idea she would become so involved with the lives of three families from her adopted home that she would devote three years to telling their stories. But she did and she has, relating the personal lives -- in their own words -- of the Eaches, Fendalls and Tacketts, their loves and losses, betrayal and survival.
