I was happy to read the good news about the new
Jonesboro Historical Museum building . I would love to get to visit the Historical Museum when it is open .
My family lived in Jonesboro , I was raised there from 1954 till about 1963 . Some of my family lived there much longer . Jonesboro had always been a special place to me.
Each year I visit back , driving around the old neighborhood wondering if any of my childhood friends lived anywhere around Jonesboro any longer.
I am always searching online to see if I can find any picrures from Jonesboro or JC Knight
School from the 1950's to the early 1960's .
I remember the Rootbeer Sand on the Muncie Pike , I don't remember the name of it , is it the one that is mention in the newspaper? I also remember the Rootbeer Stand at Gas City :) I always loved to visit each every chance that I got.
Would anyone know of any websites that might have any photo's from the Jonesboro area around the 1950's or early 1960's ? I would love to find the JC Knights Yearbook from 1959 , 1960, 1961 and 1962. Also any of the Jonesboro's Friends Church's Sunday School Class pictures from this time frame. I remeber that we would have Sunday School group pictures made when I was young and went to the Friends Church in Jonesboro .
I was also in the Brownie' Group for the Jonesboro girls , I remember we use to have group pictures made too. I would love to find someone that might have any of the pictures tat they would share by email. I would love to have pictures to scrapbook my early years living in Jonesboro . We moved from Indiana around 1963 .
Thanks ,

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Aries

Someone wants to go their own way today and they won't care whose feathers they ruffle in the process. It's a lunar eclipse at the Full Moon in Cancer, so let them get on with it. The last thing you should do now is to hang on to their coat-tails or do anything else that will make them feel restricted. Make it plain that you've got your own fish to fry, thank you very much. And try not to let it stop you enjoying yourself. Have a great night!
