Below is a very, very, very rough short video effort by KOH that attempts to show the amazing family research done on the Hylton-Joyce family members led by Dr. Lawrence Hylton, Sr. of Long Island, New York. The actual tree was designed by our late relative Roscoe Martin. The tree holds over 3,500 names. This video does not capture the fullness of this ongoing project. It has to be seen in person to appreciate!
Not all family branches are featured clearly in this video, so KOH takes full responsibility for inclusion and/or exclusion. Again, the family tree is best appreciated in person. This video is not intended in any way to take away from the real beauty and ongoing research being gathered from the true historians of the family. In the interim, please feel free to pause the video at times or freeze frame it to look at names. Enjoy! KOH, PhD

ON ANOTHER NOTE! Seriously, was I the only boy growing up in Roanoke in the late '50s and early '60s trying to stay up with his big sister and brother to listen to R&B music and commercials way late at night (10 - 2 p.m.) from WLAC Radio in Nashville, Tennessee? This was way before the original W-T-O-Y! Click the above links (highlighted words) and go back down memory lane (especially under the heading "HEAR IT NOW AND BELIEVE IT LATER" and also here!
Below are the four radio personalities that kept the late night party going Monday thru Saturday.
