I want to thank everyone for their help. It would seem that the postcard of Druid City Hospital in the 1950's would have been Northington General Hospital, if no one is sure perhaps I'll try a different artistic effect. The article I'm working on is a transcription of an article that appeared in Collier's in June of 1944, by T/Sgt. Barrie Stavis. I am waiting his permission to put it on my website. Yes, he is still living and a well known playright. The titles of his works, among which are which I am sorry to say, I've never read, appear to show an insight into human nature during times of upheaval. This article "They See Without Looking," certainly illustrates that about the citizens of Tuscaloosa. It was sent to me by Mrs. Elizabeth Hamner and I thought it deserved to be seen again. She has been an immense help in discovering my families connection to Christ Episcopal Church, and directing me to new sources. There is also an article about the "Lest we forget," committee which received acclamation during WW2, I am waiting for permission to put that on line also. Tuscaloosa was one of two cities praised for their work. All in all I'm learning alot about Tuscaloosa. I was under the impression that the McLester Hotel was founded by Richard C. McLester, my GGgrandfather, but Mrs. Hamner sent me an article that it was built in 1887, after Richard died, by the McLester Building Company, three officers of the company were Richard's sons-in law. E.N.C. Snow, W.A. Leland, Jr., and John Robie Kennedy. Thanks again for all the help.
