Llillian is still lilving, both she and Her husband Paul Arrowood, they live in Paintsville, P.D.,Helen, Troy,Bill and Hazel are all dead. Mary, Lillian, and Jimmy are all living. I am a second cousin of theirs. My father was Otto Meddings. Bessie Pack's nephew. Come visit with us at the reunion. Old friends are welcome too and I am sure they would be happy to see you. Would like to know your name. Thanks for the reply

am sorry I got the names mixed up. I never knew Troy, Bill and Hazel, they must have been much older than me. My name is Elcine Tackett Hall. I grew up just two houses away from the Pack's in Kingaddition. We lived on the sharp curve just after you passed the old drive in theatre. We just had the Tackett/Adkins reunion in Paintsville on July 22. We thought Mary, Jimmy, Lillian and Paul were coming but do not know what happened that they did not show. Mary has invited us to the Pack and Medding reunion before but we have not been able to be in Paintsville at the time of your reunion. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rachel E.
