Northside first, then Southside. Had Mr. Tommie for Science. MR. WAR W. A. Rufus was principal at Southside then. When I knew Barry and Jimmy, I lived on Elizabeth Ave. behind Self memorial. Went to Blake Elementary then. Hung around with Billy Hancock and the Wells boys (Mrs. Wells was school teacher at Blake, Husband owned the Milk company there on Main). Later lived outside town on Circle Drive. Is Massengill your maiden name? Ann Massengill/John Evans wrote: > > At 05:05 PM 10/9/2000 -0500, John W.

Is Massengill your maiden >name? > Bingo! My grandmother always said that if you were truly southern you could establish mutual friends with two questions and kinship by the third question... the implication being that if you couldn't, this person is not worth talking to. The teacher is my Aunt Mary Ellen Wells, who now lives (with that same old rascally husband, my Uncle Jack) 20 minutes from us. They get along pretty well, and we check on them often. They built the house at the corner of West Alexander and Elizabeth Ave. (which was named for my grandmother). My parents Dr. Paul and Lila Massengill bought their house when Pet transferred Jack to Alabama. My cousin Andy died February a year ago. Among all came to the visitation, I was probably most glad to see Nicky Nichols, Barry "Booger-Row", and Ted and Dusty Strickand. Andy is buried, Suzanne will be interested to learn, out at the old Bethlehem Cemetery. that's what his wife Linda wanted; her family is there, and I cannot for the life of me remember her maiden name! What are you doing now and where are you? Annie

Annie, Bingo is right. I thought we would make a connection but the old brain cells aren't what they used to be you know. I'm currently a Sr. Technical Editor/Writer for Raytheon Systems, Inc. in Greenville, TX. We moved here from San Diego, CA after retiring from the Navy in 1985. Please give your Aunt my hellos and I think she just might remember me. John Ann Massengill/John Evans wrote: > > At 04:37 AM 10/10/2000 -0500, you wrote: > >Northside first, then Southside.
