I feel the giant roots planted by my Great Great Grandfather, David Hunter McAlpin in the Morristown area in the 1850's when I drive past Century 21 (formerly the McAlpin Building and down South Street to St. Peter's Church ( where my Grandparents were married in 1905, both my parents memorial services were held ( Malcolm in 1985, Helen in 2000 ) and where my family attended church from the 1940's to the 1980's.
