Old postcards of Bolton

Be sure to peruse the rest of this site as well. It's terrific.
What was the oldest grammar school any of us attended in Alexandria? We were likely too young to have gone to Central Grammar or West End Grammar.

Remember Woolworth's?

It was great to mow a lawn for $3 and then ride on the bicycle to Woolworth's and get a banana split that only set you back 39¢!

Notes RE Ike and Classmates

Jan Butler Autry is quite ill having been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. She is in a wheelchair & is experiencing the later stages of this horrible disease. She & Gaylen Walding were buds at Bolton. She is my sister-in -law & sister to '67 Bolton grad Gerry Butler (my hubby). Her e-mail is Mustang1nana@aol.com
Thanks

I have been following this awful saga from my family, some of whom is in the flooded area. My prayers are with you all and if I can do anything from Wisconsin/Minnesota, please let me know. Even though I missed the class reunion, I was thinking about it that whole weekend. I promise to come to the next.
Your ole classmate,
Ellen Fonville Latsch

Just to let you know. We have no power at our camp, so we are in Dallas at our oldest daughters. Love spending time with the grandkids...but it's not home. Hope to have the power back on soon and we can go home.
On a positive not. My wife Kay has had such a good time with all the reunion, that she is spearheading her 40th reunion. No one had done anything, so after ours she started sending out stuff, got some people involved and got them going. The reunion is next weekend, and we are looking forward to it. Hope it's as much fun as ya'll do...

General News and Solicitation of Ideas

Hello Classmates,
The blogspot has remained static since May, and surely there are news items and new photos that could be posted. If you would like to post items of general interest, do send a message and the User ID and password will be provided.
Besides just good news, and glad tidings, items bearing bad report could be of vital interest to us all. Spouses of 2 classmates passed away in recent days. Others are battling cancer of other serious conditions and diseases. Feel free to share this so that we as a group might share in the hardships as well as the better times.
As Gustav has seemingly set its sights on us, let us all collectively pray that God will protect us, will help us weather the storm, and will direct our actions so that we might help others.

Hallowed Grounds

See if you can spot differences in Bolton in 2008 from what you recall being its appearance in 1968.

We show up in lots of places

Old McDonald posting here....

Went to my wife's 40th reunion at Glenmora High on 4/25. They had 35 in their graduating class. There were yearbooks for '64 through '68. While perusing them, I found photos 2 of our fellow graduates who had attended school there, Charlie Burgin and Nancy Childree. Nancy attended our 30th reunion and recognized my wife. Our records show she lives in DeRidder with her husband from the class of '69, Chris Tidwell. Charlie's last known address is Jennings, LA.

Just a reminder, start right now if you haven't already and drum up support for our 45th reunion. No date has been set, but we need to miss March 31, 2013, weekend which will be Easter; however, the spring weather was truly nice. How about the week before or the week after?
