    I have tried to get a picture of the WWII soldiers billboard that stood on Main Street or the one that was on Oakford Ave between the McClung Hoapital the Oakford Hotel? The one that was on East Main Street was on the Cherry River Boom and Lumber Company which we all knew as the Big Mill. Do you have any idea where I could get a picture? There should be one somewhere in Richwood.
