Time Machine: Optimist Playground at McHnery c. 1976
This picture was published in Broadside, our weekly newspaper. I posted a copy on my Facebook on February 9, 2010. I have copied comments from that post below.

Do you know what year this was?

We published Broadside from 1975-1977. I'll try to remember to check the back issues some time and get an exact date. The kids really enjoyed the new playground equipment!
Tony Pope
Was that a school newsletter? I need to get copies to put in our McHenry books.
Terrell Shaw
No. It was Rome's weekly newspaper. Sheila and I were partners in it, mainly with Steve and Laurie Craw. True story: we laid out the paper every Weds. night. If things went well, I was allowed to go home at midnight so I could get up and teach the next day. That happened occasionally. Sometimes things didn't go well and I slept not at all. I should have been fired. I'd do OK till lunch, but get a few calories into me and I got powerful sleepy... long story short, we opened the curtains & I read to all three (Clayton, Gresham, Shaw) classes after lunch every day. One Thursday I woke up in front of 75 children when some child said in a stage whisper, "Mr. Shaw's gone to sleep!"
Tony Pope
Ha... I just got our Young Romans submission turned in the other day. I always say I'm going to work on it piece by piece until the deadline...and that never happens!
Terrell Shaw
You orta come to our storytelling tomorrow, Tony. 3 pm at Rolater Park in Cave Spring.
Tony Pope
Weather and time permitting I was going to try and work it in.

I remember watching the kids climb up and over this. They had a lot of fun with this,even the third graders.All u need to do is find an album with Brad in it and then do some adding or subtracting to get the year.
Tony Pope
We had one at Johnson too. I'd bet there would be a liability over them nowadays! Ha... Had a lot of fun on them.

Tear Britches Trail
I am not sure of the date of our overnight hike in the Cohutta wilderness in the mid seventies. My best guess is 1974. Our friend Mike Bock came down from his home in Kettering, Ohio and we invited my younger brother David to join us.
Mike took some pictures and developed and printed them as 8x10s and put them in an album for us. I am writing this in January of 2026 after scanning all the pictures and moving them to a more archive friendly album.

Visiting Solomon in Ohio 1974
Solomon and Diana were in the states with their two little boys to visit Diana's family in Ohio. We hopped on a plane to Dayton and met Mike Bock then drove on up to visit the Lasois. About 1974 (Do not remember exact date)
Ruth Baird Shaw (Jan. 3, 2010) Thanks for posting that photo Terry. I had not seen it before you you have it on Alone on A limb?
Terrell Shaw: (Jan. 3, 2010) I wonder why FB put this pic at the top of my wall again? This was posted many weeks ago.
