You have to admit these extra daughters of mine are a picturesque trio. Here Ginger Jo is ready to rumble. Gola Burton Thanks Terry for sharing these. Keila Burton Beam This is so much like her kids |

Hey, I remember that guy!

Terrell Shaw
Russell (and his wife Ruth whom we hadn't met) visited with us again last fall. [2009] Despite 40 years between visits we picked right back up and had a ball for several days.
Hi Terrell. Is everyone OK? Out here in Oregon it sounds like half a dozen states nearly washed into the Atlantic. I left a message for Charlie also. Have you heard from him? Jim Shack Rd. Was that the cabin on Lake Creek Laura and I visited sometime in the mid 72? If so I think I have a photo of you and Sheila on the front porch. Russ Nelson.

Yes, my family is great. Sheila and I did spend a few minutes huddled with two unhappy cats under the dining room table, but no damage at all at our house. My mother had a big maple down but it missed the house. No deaths or major injuries that I have heard of in Floyd Co. but millions in damage all over the county. Ringgold (north of us) had it much worse with several deaths and even more destruction. I haven't heard from Charlie in the last few weeks.
Yes, the tornado did a lot of damage on Jim Shack Rd. The cabin we used to own burned several years ago so it was already gone, but thats the one. I'd like to see that picture. There are a few pics of it in my albums on Facebook.

Glad to hear you are all OK. I sent Charlie a message but haven't heard back from him. A little concern there. I'm going through old West Virginia photos looking for Teacher Corps images. When get them together, I'll get them scanned and on the page. I'll get the Jim Shack photo as well. By the way do you remember "Aardvark Mountain Lodge? Now there was a cabin in the woods that might have been improved with a few gallons of gas and a match. Remember the copperhead snake under the kitchen sink?
Ruth and I got back from a vacation in Lake Havasu City AZ last week. Finally got out of town for a few weeks. Not sure if you got that message from me. We're going over to the Oregon Coast this week to work on one of the beach houses. I'll keep you posted of stuff from this side of the continent. You do the same. Good to hear from you.

Its great to hear from you, as well, Russ. I may try to give Charlie a call. He was going great guns there for a while, contacting our old NTC folk.
Our mailbox on Jim Shack Road in Chubbtown, South Floyd County GA. Early seventies. |
David came to visit us for a few days and helped me dig a place in the hillside to construct a small out building. David Shaw I remember that week!!! |

Sheila rescued this little dog off of Booger Hollow Rd, brought the cute little feller home, fed him, took him to the vet for shots and such, bought food, dishes, toys,... one week later he continued his journey leaving us behind. |
I believe this was the kitten we called "Blossom" |
Note from the future (August 2024)Sheila and I just spent sixteen days visiting our daughter Brannon's family in Vista, California (northern San Diego County). Brannon and John gave up their own bedroom for us and they stayed in the living room (after getting the kids to sleep). I noticed but didn't examine a framed picture of a log cabin next to their bed. I sort of wondered about it. Maybe it was a place they stayed on one of their trips. The day before we headed home I took a closer look and was amazed at how much it reminded me of our Chubbtown cabin. I was shocked when Brannon confirmed that it IS a photo of our cabin from the early seventies. How did I not immediately realize that. There were the tulips I planted. There was the piece of driftwood I would later carve "Bywater" into as a sign over our drive. How about that. Here it is.

Milton and Ellen Bennett. Ellen was our school secretary. She and Milton lived directly across the street from the school. This was a retro prom in the school gym. |
