The process of going through old photos is frustrating and without end. But i’m trying. Here are some more:

i’m guessing this was 1943. i could be off a year either way. It’s taken on the steps to fellowship hall next to the sanctuary at the First United Methodist Church when it was on East Main Street between the post office and Hankins and Smith Motor Company. My cousins were visiting from Red Bank. First row: cousin Johnny Orr, goofy kid, Sally Ann Eskew, Marilyn Smith, Deanie Martin, Harry Vickers; second row: Rose Major, Roberta Padgett, cousin Nancy Orr, (?) Lore (?) (i can’t read my mother’s handwriting on this one). and Bobby Hesson.

My best friend from somewhere around first grade when his family returned from New Mexico until now and beyond. i think it’s his sophomore class photo at LHS. Again, i may be a year off. George Henry Harding, V.

The Jewell family men at breakfast in their homestead on Castle Heights Avenue, circa 1994. This was where we ate from 1956 when we added on to the house until the siblings began to leave beginning with me permanently in 1967.

That’s all this morning. i have some real work to do.
