I believe he's got the right idea!  How cute.......

How did the sales go at your craft booth? 

Dandymamma,

The cook at the Howard Schools would have been your great-grandmother, Mae Riggs. The first school cafeteria was a new structure built in the 1950s, and she probably was one of the first cooks there.  She was still there when I graduated from high school in 1967.

Marjean just this week had knee replacement surgery, so she may be laid up for awhile.  I don't think she is out of the hospital yet, but I'm sure she will contact you when she is up to it.

Two of these guys are my grandpas--John J. Hebb and Jas. H. Hawkins.  Pretty neat!

This is the Church of Christ building on south Wabash (Main Street).  They no longer have church there, and Indygal on the forum has purchased the building and plans to make it into a home.  She and her husband were married there earlier this year.  Check back on the forum for details.

The building on the left with the arched doorway was the original Howard National Bank.  The bank (now the Howard State Bank) moved to its present location one block south and across the street probably in the 1960s.  This  is a beautiful building, and several people have attempted to refurbish it since it was abandoned by the bank, but no one has ever made much progress and  it is in a state of horrible dismay.  When I was young in the 50s and 60s, there was a barber shop down several steps under the bank and later a barber and beauty shop run by the Cooleys. There might have been an apartment or two upstairs.

Next door was the American Legion Hall.  That building now houses "used" items--it is never open when we visit, so I'm not sure what is in it except for looking in the window and seeing lots of old "stuff".

 

If these are the items on the highway, the creator is Jerry Hubbell.  He calls his display "Hubbel's Rubble".

I think the station wagon belongs to Curtis and Louise Morgan.
