If you are interested in going to the service give me a call at 540-537-8158 (cell). I am working today and will get back to you promptly if I am on a call.
Tentatively, we are looking at heading out tomorrow afternoon/evening, staying in or around Charleston tomorrow night, then coming back after the services Friday.
