INDEX: June 2013
THIS month we are honored to present two stories that cover organizations of great historical significance to the stone industry: the Alberene Soapstone Company, and the Elberton Granite Association. In this issue we continue with our “Rock Stars Among Us”column, introduce a new series that answers the question, “Where does your granite come from?” and bid a happy retirement to our Nubbins, TN correspondent, writer Ida Mae Nowes, who has penned her wonderful stories for over a decade. As always, send your letters to publisher@slipperyrockgazette.net. We especially want your nominations for our “Rock Stars Among Us” column – thanks for your suggestions. L.H.
