EverGreene, by Air: July 1, 2008

A beautiful day, the 1st of July, 2008…Who could think of something more enjoyable than a fly-over! Let me tell you, I had a great time! Made me realize more than ever, how much I would love to have my pilot's license, and be able to have the freedom to roam the skies, looking down on the world, below.

Thank you Tom, and Linda, for the wonderful opportunity! Words can not begin to express the emotions that will be forever tied with that short, flight. If ever the opportunity were to arise again, I would be ready!

When the railroad was built in the 1850s, the village moved to the other side of the tracks around a Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad stop.<br /> <br /> From September 1862 to March 1863, skirmishes between Confederate and Union troops took place in Zuni and the surrounding area, and Confederate troops were stationed at Zuni to protect a railroad bridge and the road leading to Suffolk.
