<quoted text>I think this started about the time you graduated. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this. I don't know or remember how many years they did this. Not many.

Maybe it was because I was just a teenager back then and didn't know any better, but I think people were generally most relaxed and happy in those days. I loved the smell of gins in the fall, I think we had about five of them. Now there is one. Hard to believe things have "progressed" so far. Do you remember Blanchards Cafe and how good the hamburgers smelled cooking even when standing outside? Would make you hungry. Then there was the hot tamale man. I can't remember his name. It was Yogi Briggs granddad. Man were they good. Of course we also had a few beer places on main street too back then. Weekends they were pretty busy! Was never in one, but they could get a little loud at times. LOL.

The hot tamale man could of been Ralph Howard. He had a son named Larry that would be about 55 years old now.

Hey Anonymous,
Ralph was my uncle. Which one of the boys did you graduate with? Bob, Jerry, Truman or Larry? You may know my mother since they are first cousins and she is a year older than Jerry.

Does anyone remember (the airport) that was out on Old 61? It was just North of Muse's garage on the West side of Old 61.
One of the Fullers I think it was C C, bought a Cessna and took off and landed there and had a quonset hut hanger to keep the plane in. Anyway, he was out flying and it came up a thunderstorm and when he came in to land the front wheel caught in the mud and flipped over on it's top. I don't remember if he got hurt or not. Then a little later I think Jame Muse bought a bi-plane. At least I think it was James. Don't remember if it was him for sure though. Anyway whoever owned it kept it there also.

I dont't remember the airport, but I do remember James Muse and his son(Henry) bought a wrecked plane from Ray Gene Harris about 1979-80. They fixed it up real nice and gave it a great paint job.

Didn't Mr. Charles Penman have a plane years back? Maybe it was his air strip.
