I grew up at Chickasaw and went to McGehee Elementary School for the first five years. Miss Marebell McQuistion, Mrs. Kratzer, Mrs. Turner etc. My family was the infamous French {Picheloup's) from Arkansas County by way of Chicot county to Desha. The 27 flood sent them from Chicot to Drew for a few weeks and then they settled on Sam Wolchansky's place at Chickasaw. I have some news to share and alot of people's name that I remember. Was going through a scrap book and found some valentines from Jimmy Poe, Joline Tiner, Patsy Hargis and several more. These were from the first grade. My maiden name was Ruth Laverne Wilkerson.
