Barbara Lane feels there is a story to be told about Collin County.
“I don’t believe there has ever been a book that compiles the story of Collin County and how it grew,” Lane said. “There’s really a story there.”
Lane is the project director for the book, The Spirit of Collin County, that is currently being put together.
“This is an opportunity for people who have businesses here to tell their story about a person or a business,” Lane explained.
Those who have been a part of the community and contributed to the county are encouraged to be a part of the book. Businesses or individuals can purchase one to four pages in the publication that is expected to be published by the third quarter of 2005.
“This is a very sophisticated way to show what you have done,” Lane said.
Cyndy Moore and Barry Benton are the two individuals working to compile the stories and the photos that depict Collin County from the past, present, and into the future. Moore said as she has been researching information for the book, she has found a true pioneer spirit starting with the early roots of settlers laying the ground work for the communities of today.
