Gleaning Facebook: McHenry Kaleidoscope

One of my small Kaleidoscope classes at McHenry School during the (about) 1984-85 year. L-R: Julie Oswald, Alexis Sapp, Terrell Shaw, Ethan Popham.

This is from a post on the McHenry School Facebook page on November 16, 2009. I do not know the exact date so I'll post it to this date in 1984.

 

Time Machine: Family picture

I do not know the exact date of this picture. Brannon was born August 4, 1983 and I am guessing we are dressed for fall weather. This photo was taken in Mobley Hall at Trinity United Methodist Church, Rome, Georgia. 

 

Time Machine: Endorsements

 

On that same day ...

Time Machine: Terrell at 37

Rummaging around -- many years in the future 2025 -- in that room upstairs where we keep a lot of odds and ends, I will happen upon this group of pictures that I will have NO memory of. Examining the pictures I will note:

• They are obviously posed for some special purpose.
• I am at my rolltop desk in our old house on Cedar Avenue.
• The framed document on the wall is my Marshall Forest Stewardship Award from 1981.
• My glasses, hairstyle, and clothing are similar to pictures from my 1984 race for Georgia House of Representatives (I will lose to Paul Smith.)

I ended up hiring a professional photographer to take some good pics for my campaign literature like this brochure. 

So I will conclude these underexposed shots must have been made for the campaign and rejected as too dark. 

So I'll date this post as 1984 -- maybe today?

 

Time Machine: Kaleidoscope Trip to Washington DC

This was one of our Floyd County Kaleidoscope Program trips to our nation's capital. I do not know the exact date but one of the students says it was the trip we made in the spring of 1984. We posed on the capitol steps with our Congressman George "Buddy" Darden. I will appreciate help identifying everyone. L-R Standing at the top:

remember the trips to D.C..... what great experiences we had as we showed our Kaleidoscope students around Washington.

Terrell Shaw
I loved those trips to DC and to Savannah.

I remember that trip. One thing I do remember most was the long bus ride. Someone started a poker game and I think I ended up being the big winner.

Sabrina Shropshire Cheves
I remember being late back to the bus at the end of the day at the zoo and also spending much of my time trying to sit next to Joel. Haha! Good to see everyone on here. Wow...Time flies, doesn't it?

I think it was 1984 maybe?
