But Riverby Inn was much more than a place. Its story is the story of its family, the Frank and Jeffie Blanks clan. Like a Norman Rockwell painting with unspoiled goodness captured in rich colors and caricatures, the Blanks' story is an uplifting reflection of human relationships, childhood adventure, and life in the 1930's American South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn January of 1964, the authors sent out letters to all surviving members of the Blanks Family.
