      This is a quick resume about our 
        little Lane. Visitors to the Lane often 
        ask us about its beginning, and, as we 
        (the Runyards) seem to have been living 
        here the longest, I thought it time to set 
        down just a few of the things I 
        remember, or have, in asking questions, 
        been able to hear other scraps of 
        history. I am sure all who live on this 
        rustic lane are used to visitors saying 
        they would like to live here!!! 
        I hope you enjoy this short, and by 
        no means, complete rural history.
