Leaving a small school ...Thanks for the memories !! Leaving a small school in Holcomb and going to a bigger school was nerve-wrecking to say the least . I remember when you wore a dress and shoes to match I would come with a simple blouse and skirt. I was always inspired by your taste in clothes. Your the reason I got my ears pierced!! Haha!!! I remember you inspired me ever time you had to give a book report you had so much self confidence!!!! And what's weird is your my grandsons librarian now !!!!! I hope he is going to be very successful in life !!!!!! P.S.Austin typed all of this for me and Austin said you gave them a great speech today!!!!Cindy Mansfield ( Taylor)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945067633460151.post-48218030337456053392010-09-03T16:51:05.379-05:002010-09-03T16:51:05.379-05:00I forgot Geeslin Corner!I forgot Geeslin Corner!Angela McInnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962127548669107854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945067633460151.post-42631604022348299802010-09-03T16:50:17.976-05:002010-09-03T16:50:17.976-05:00Pat, you ARE one of those sweet "county"...Pat, you ARE one of those sweet "county" school girls! I loved ya'll and still have such fond memories of all of you. Teresa Martin was the one I rode home on the bus with and will NEVER forget that experience! Remember all the Gore Springs, Tie Plant, Elliott, Duck Hill and Holcomb girls and boys? And Yes, Greer, I do remember graduation. Last night, Jones Road just wouldn't come to mind! I can still see it in my memory. Good memories and good friends!Angela McInnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962127548669107854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945067633460151.post-42785426408862318782010-09-03T13:31:31.178-05:002010-09-03T13:31:31.178-05:00Angela--the name of the county school was Jones Ro...Angela--the name of the county school was Jones Road and remember thats where we had our high school graduation because it rained and we couldnt have it on the football field.

It's amazing that the older we get the wiser we become and realize that all God's children (county or city) have the same potential and abilities, given the same opportunities. I look forward to another class reunion to meet again with old friends, county and city. I believe we're waiting on a facility that will accommodate such a large group. Hope to see y'all then.Pat Jones Hittnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945067633460151.post-6444696031753274672010-09-03T05:22:24.564-05:002010-09-03T05:22:24.564-05:00Isn't it funny what you think of things when y...Isn't it funny what you think of things when you are smaller and how you do a complete turnaround when you grow up and have a little sense?!

I don't remember much about it, but over the years Mother has recalled one thing he said to us -- she always quotes it with a deep, serious voice: "Little ladies, always be yourselves."<br /><br />I had similar misconceptions about our county classmates. We knew a few of them -- we'd started first grade together and I think it was around third grade that Jones Road school opened. I think our county classmates had some advantages we didn't understand. They understood more about hard work -- their chores were a little more important to their families than making beds or drying dishes. They understood more about life. I'm glad that three of my grands live in the country in Illinois, surrounded by miles of corn fields, help tend a garden, and gather fresh eggs from their flock. They've seen real life drama when coyotes raided their chicken flock last summer. They attend small county schools and are getting a good education.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769514249364082342noreply@blogger.com
