From Gil Crouse's Facebook:

Uncle Terry, we found 1969, but didn't find you?!??!?!?! Did you miss picture day?

Yep, I'm not there. I'm not in the yearbook either. I somehow missed picture day. Can't remember why. Dirty trick I played on ya, huh?

Gil Crouse
Hhhhmmmm, did you really go to Asbury???????? 

Terrell Shaw
I do still have the sheepskin to proved I graduated, though!

Maybe pics were taken when he was stuck in the clinic with mumps. Did you find Ron?

Here's some photographic evidence:

Hey Aunt Carol, we didn't think to look for Uncle Ron. Was he 1969 too? I just looked at the original picture and could sort of make out faces, but but not names and didn't see one that looked familiar.

Ron and Terry graduated the same year. I tried to pick out Ron's photo in the background of your pic but couldn't do it.

 

Time Machine: Mother's Chandelier

The date of this picture is approximate. If anyone has a more accurate date let me know. Mother moved to this house on Rollingwood Circle in Rome late in 1997. Mark Crouse who is on my shoulders in the picture was born in May of 1997. I'd say he is two or three in this picture. So we'll put this in September 1999.

Mother loved to shop the thrift shops, Hospitality House, ReStore, and Salvation Army. The Salvation Army thrift store in the late nineties was in the little shopping center on the west side of Huffacre Road at Shorter Avenue. That's where she found and bought this light fixture. During one of his visits to Georgia my nephew, her grandson, Gil Crouse Jr set about installing it over Mother's dining table. 

Gil often found similar very practical ways to be of service to his grandmother when he visited her. 

Here he is assisted by his father, Gil Sr. while I observe with Gil's boys, Mark and Lewis.
