This Thursday afternoon I will have a long-
awaited opportunity to share a presentation
about "Mystery at the Loyd Homeplace" with
over 100 fifth graders at Greater Atlanta Christian
School. I am so excited about this event, partly
because they will be the first school group I have
shared with who live in the vicinity where all the
action of the book took place. In fact, the school
is located just a few miles from the headwaters of
famed Peachtree Creek, which enters into my tale.
This photo is a black-and-white of the Loyd
Homeplace as it still appears. I will narrate
a slideshow that details not only the Loyd
mystery, but local history pre-dating and
including the Civil War. My emphasis will
be on the triple themes of family, faith, and
history. I hope all students come to realize
that they, too, have a story to tell. And I
hope someday they'll tell it, perhaps to their
own children and grandchildren.
