I had ask Joyce about where the Meteor was, and she told me that it was at Southern, also someplace else. Bud went to school and graduated with me, and is retired now himself, he would sure be a very good person, and he is online, I know some of the cemeteries, were done early on, someone put Pinebulff on line but its not complete, and many other folks are burried there, Cleo Sullivan, bless her heart, is in a Nursing home in Brookhaven, her husband is there, and there is a place for her. Also Ray Mohon's family and some of the Carraway family we all knew. Dorothy Alford, bless her heart, do you know how she is, know she is still living at home, we at one time lived across the street from her, where there is now an apartment complex now, was very surprised to see it there this summer. The Sweeny family was across from us, and the street right by there house. So many memories there. I will help anyway I can you know it might start with a nice letter to the Editor~ and some interest might be generated that way, someone, who is very organized (I am not) might just know how to start. There are still some folks out in the Jack community who would enjoy being part of this, Some Strongs on the Dentville Road too. God bless, Lynda you could do the letter, and list email address to contact, What do you think.? At 08:46 PM 11/24/2000 EST, you wrote: >Lynda, > >I know both Shirley and Joyce.
