A photo was sent by Denise Simpson with her grandparents attired for the centennial. I have added this to the Gillespie website : http://gillespieil.com/gillespie/noefamily.html With this in mind, it would be great to hear more about the events and people during this 1953 celebration. Wednesday night's night storms hit Gillespie rather hard. With power lines down and sparking, I was able to get only a few photos on Thursday morning. I have put a couple on the main website page. http://gillespieil.com/gillespie/ Wayne
