Jeannette Rankin is a true American hero with roots buried deep in Oconee County. There is the historic marker near her round house basically across the street from the Oconee County Middle School near Butler's Crossing. Her foundation started supporting non-traditional female students with a no-strings-attached scholarship. This is always such an amazing and powerful force for women and men. Please donate to the cause for an amazing local lady deserving our support. Below is her entry in Wikipedia as well as a plea to enter in their diamond bracelet raffle. Woven brightly, Daniel J.
