ReplyDeleteI remember the day the Chenaults got the news about Glen. I worked with Glen at Evans Foodstore,where th Haskell Fine Medical Center is. It was a sad day. Tommy was the manager of the store. Glen was a good man and treated all of us kindly. it was a terrible tragedy and a great loss. Daniel Craft

Still not sure but the two burr-headed boys might be myself and little brother Mike (Mickey) Meyners.
If that does turn out to be my brother and I with the burrs in the first pic, I'd place it closer to '65-66.
ReplyDeleteThe boy wearing the plaid shorts in the "Play" pic may be Michael Crenshaw who lived a couple of houses down from this spot.
