Bill, I would love to hear more of your memories. Do you by chance remember the Brooks's families from Chico? I truly enjoy hearing how life was lived in the past. It seems like such a calm time compared to the rush in today's world. P;ease tell me more. You can email me direct at kerrymccullough@hotmail.com or I'll pick up your news on this list.

Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 17:07:33 -0500 My Grandmother wore an apron. So did my Mother. They wore bonnets, long sleeve dresses. They did not go around dressed like naked jay -birds. My great grandmother wore dresses down to her ankles. I'm 77 almost 78. My grandfather was a child during the Civil war. I had three greatgrandfathers in the Civil War. When I was born in Bridgeport, we had only one paved road, and it went to Decatur and Chico. Farmers brought their corn into town in wagons to be ground.. The mill was down by turkey Creek, where the swimming pool is today. There were good things about those days, I miss today.
