My condolences Ron and we wish you could have visited under better circumstances.
You're entirely right with your observations. There's the well-known six degrees of separation in Hollywood where ever actor can be traced through at most six other actors to Kevin Bacon. I truly believe that every event in American History can be traced through six degrees to Maysville. Hmm. Maybe I'll post some examples : )
Seems like everywhere you look in this great country of ours you'll find something(or somebody) that you can trace back to Maysville.:) I just returned to Indy from Maysville last night. Came down over the weekend for the funeral of a family member(Ms. Mary Margaret Clark)and even though the occasion was somber, the beauty and history of that little town could not be overcome.
Had a great stay at the "French Quarter Inn", had very nice view of the river and bridge.Searched the cemetary after the burial service in Aberdeen and found my great great Grandmother and my great great great Grandmother. There is a special feeling when you find connection with your roots.
