Lynch remembered that on one of her visits to a Sperryville restaurant, she overhead an elderly couple talking about the remnants of a pin factory. “There must be a picture of that old factory somewhere in the county,” voiced Lynch who said that she and Tole are interested in photographs not much beyond the 1960s. “People can take them to the historical society where Judy will scan them and they can be returned to the owners, we’re not asking to keep any of the originals,” reassured Lynch. “Judy has been a godsend in helping with this.”
With a cover shot due in several weeks, Lynch is hopeful that “just the right” photo will emerge to grace the cover. “Rather than a bucolic scene, we need a good people shot.”
“I’m looking for pictures with people of whatever era,” added Lynch. “When you see it, you know it.”
The book is scheduled to be completed by this October with the printing scheduled for next spring. With an initial printing of 1,500, it is intended to be marketed regionally and will also be readily available on Amazon.com.
