Perhaps there are places available for a reasonable price in this area.

Barney Bear, maybe we were neighbors in Indiana way back when. During the war my father, who was with DuPont, was transferred to a munitions plant in Indiana. We lived in Hanover, IN in the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house because there was a housing shortage, and all the men from the college were serving our country. I remember watching the boats going by on the Ohio River......that was a great place, as I recall. Anyhow Madison and Hanover are only 6 miles apart.
