Visiting Huntsville for the first time in search of my Madison County forebears, John Rison gave me a personal tour and opened doors for me that I would not have been able to. A great, kind gentleman.

John Rison was truly the most interesting person I have ever had the good fortune to know. Even though he is gone, he will never be forgotten.
