  1. I just found this blog while Google searching for Samuel Lewellen. Most of your documents that are linked in your posts are on Scribd and the links seem to be broken. I would love to see some of these documents. Is there any way you can re-attach them to your blog? You can contact me directly at raines1944@gmail.com. Thanks. Gary Raines
