This is Danny Ricketts. Collector of everything, keeper of not as much as I once did. Nancye says that I have an acquisition complex. Usually, after I have had something for a while, I’m ready to part with it; with a few exceptions, one being my wife Nancye.
Nancye and I have been married for over 40 years now. Back in 1968, she was too young to be married in Virginia, so I took her to North Carolina for the wedding. Rev. Dan Jones (same name as my grandfather) married us in Reidsville.
Below is the same lady 40 years later:
A lot of the stuff we collected has been turned over to our children. We all have to realize that most everything else is temporary.
I seem to turn up more than enough interesting facts, maps, pictures and stuff about local history. I am Danville, Virginia’s poster child, so to speak. Thanks for taking a look.
Danny
