Question for Messrs. King and Hamilton - V.L. Minnick

[NW Mailing List]

V. L. (Vernon) Minnick's office was on the second floor of the Shaffers 
Crossing storehouse building as I remember.   He was a real gentleman.  
He retired to some location away from Roanoke and once telephoned me 
from that location just to see how I was doing.
