Jimmy Tapp had a dry, but great sense of humor, however, that "Beatle Wig" not being RED is a dead give away.
ReplyDeleteSixty four was a memorable and fun year for the residence of our home town. It started with the Bearcats winning the Grand Slam basketball tourney and continued with the many fun events surrounding the centennial celebration. Great photo!

ReplyDeleteWhatever became of Doug Watters?
ReplyDeleteMy apology to anonymous that posted yesterday and I removed it before thinking about his comment about Jimmy Tapp wearing a beatle wig. That does look a little funny.
ReplyDeleteCharles Weatherford was from a large family. How many consisted of the family?
ReplyDeleteI believe Charles Weatherford is one of six children. I think the birth order is Bill, Wyatt, Aaron, Charles, Brenda (Cole), and Linda (Windham).
ReplyDeleteMove Wyatt behind Charles Barnard and you have the order.
ReplyDeleteJust what is or was the Baldwyn Eastern star club???
ReplyDeleteDoug Waters is still well & thriving out in the Ingram community where he has always lived & raised his family/retired now/i think
ReplyDeleteThe Order of the Eastern Star is a social order comprised of persons with spiritual values, but it is not a religion. It's appeal rests in the true beauty of the refreshing and character-building lessons that are so sincerely portrayed in its ritualistic work. A deep fraternal bond exists between its members.
ReplyDeleteI googled that, you could have.
CHARLES WEATHERFORD IS STILL LIVING AROUND BALDWYN, I HEARD. THEY SAID HE WAS A PAINTING CONTRACTOR BY TRADE.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember how all the girls liked Charles but no one could catch him. What a fun memory.
ReplyDeleteI am Carolyn Wheeler Ghys and I remember how we were all encouraged to go to college and how important it was to have good grades so we could get in. I think that encouragement continues through out my life. I feel if I am not learning something new all the time that I am not progressing
ReplyDeleteforward. I am curious how many of the class of 1960 went to college and what everyone did with there life. I did not keep up with anyone
until now. I'd love details.
