Well, In continuation of "old home week", I remember Collins Store and the Xray machine.....also remember Fowler-Simmons, Leinwands, and several others. You may recall Butler's Café across from the Courthouse (my Uncle Virt Butler was the owner) and Butler Machinery Company up the hill from the slaughter house on 701 South (My Uncle Vernon Butler owned that one). I knew a few of Betty Jo's friends, Elizabeth Lehto, Dixie Brisson, Haig Bowman.......and then there was Charles Straughan.

Jim I must be a couple of years behind you at Etown. I know Betty Jo is one year ahed of me. I graduated in 1958. I was Sylvia Kay Russ. Small world. I know Roy Cain mentioned you from time to time but I had thought it was just a relationship via email. I sent you a little Lennon info several years ago. Both you and Butch may see the small world again. A couple of weeks ago I got an email from Walter Elmore after he found we shared some Elwell ancestors in Kelly. It turned out he is Maria Morgan's husband. Remember the old Collins-Morgan Store that her Daddy ran next to the theater. The first store I can remember where kids could get their feet xrayed to be sure their shoes fit. Trying to remember Cookes in Etown the only one that comes to mind is is Cookes Plumbing and right at this times I can't come up with his first name.

Kay & Butch, We should let everyone return to genealogy on this site. My email is "thejimcooke@yahoo.com". "jimcooke" was taken. I remember corresponding with the two of you. I also had my feet XRayed at Collins, sold used newspapers to Butler's fish market, delivered the Fayetteville Observer, clerked at Kermit's Grocery, got a 5-cent/hour raise and 2% commission at Western Auto, and measured allotment crops for the Federal Goverment, before leaving E-town. I have not been able to connect the Cooks of Cook's Plumbing with my family. I reconnize all the names listed. I understand that Roy Cain has passed away.
