Does this name ring a bell with any of you out there I am writing to see if you ever knew a George Gilbert from Crystal Springs. He would have been several years older than you - perhaps 6-8 years older, but still I'm hoping that maybe you knew him. His father was my uncle - Lamar Gilbert and his mother was Velma Gilbert. They moved in the 1950's, I believe, to Richmond, California, and I haven't heard from him but once since they moved there. His parents died several years ago, of course, and I've tried looking on the Switchboard - State of California, but there are hundreds of George Gilberts, believe it or not. I, myself, am originally from Clarksdale, MS, and now live in New Hampshire. I find, as I'm getting older (now 65 years old), the need to try to find old friends and relatives that I haven't seen or heard from in a long time. I would appreciate it so much if you could respond. Maybe you could suggest someone else who have known him. Thanks in advance. fraid it has probably been much, much too long for people to remember him, unless, of course, they went through school with him and grew up with him. George Gilbert. He married a Wanda ??? That one time that he wrote back to me, he sent a picture of himself and Wanda. He may have met her out there - probably did. I never fully understood why they left Crystal Springs and went all the way to California, but I guess it was probably seeking a better living. I just don't know. Again, my uncle's name was Lamar Gilbert and his wife's name was Velma. I had another uncle who left Mississippi and went to Detroit, Michigan, a brother to this same Uncle Lamar. They all originally came from around Leake County, in or around Lena, MS.
