Marla Millsap acquired these wonderful group photographs in Phoenix, Arizona, and has shared them with the hope that they can be identified.  If you recognize any of these people or locations as being Jonesborough, Washington County, Tennessee (or another Jonesboro in Tennessee or elsewhere), please let Marla know, or post a message to the Washington County mailing list.  Thanks!
