Sharon, These notes are incredible :-) It is wonderful to see that people have preserved history in such a personal way. Imagine reading one of these old papers and seeing your relative's name :-) My dad was in the Marines; having signed up in Homerville in 1946 or 47 (my mind isn't working well this morning!) and I've heard my mother and grandmother speak of Granny taking him over to Nahunta to catch the bus back to Cherry Point, NC. Thanks for sharing all the information with us :-) Regards, Nancy E Parr At 12:40 PM 1/6/02 -0500, you wrote: >Dear List Members, > >Let me preface these postings by saying, that I do not know the original >source of any of these.

Nancy, I'll bet your "Granny" took him to Nahunta to catch the Champion train. Can you remember the East Coast Champion? It used to stop in Nahunta for passengers.
