VIVIEN, MOTHER, AUNT RUTH, ME, PAUL, PAUL JR. PO'VILLE, MISSISSIPPI 1959
| VIVIEN WAS THE YEARBOOK EDITOR IN 1959 AND HERE SHE IS WITH HER "DEADLINE" BOOK. BECAUSE SHE WAS ALWAYS HAVING TO DO THINGS AT THE LAST MINUTE. ALWAYS, BECAUSE SHE WAS IN EVERYTHING!!! AT THE TIME OUR BROTHER, PAUL POWERS JR., LIVED IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE AND WE WERE ANXIOUSLY WAITING TO LEAVE FOR A VACATION TO VISIT OUR BROTHER. ONLY THING, VIVIEN HAD TO FINISH THE YEAR-BOOK BEFORE WE COULD LEAVE. YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!! THAT WAS OUR VIVIEN. WE WAITED, MOTHER, PAUL AND I, PATIENTLY , FOR HER TO FINISH. AND THEN WE WAITED SOME MORE....... FINALLY, WE WERE ABLE TO GO. WHAT A GREAT TRIP. ALL OF MY LIFE I HAD HEARD MY GRANDFATHER TALK ABOUT COLDWATER, MISSISSIPPI WHERE HE WAS BORN. HIS SISTER, MY AUNT RUTH, LIVED NEARBY IN PO'VILLE. MISSISSIPPI. MEMPHIS WAS VERY CLOSE AND MY BROTHER TOOK US TO VISIT MY AUTH RUTH. WHAT A GREAT VISIT. FOR THIS REASON I WILL NEVER FORGET OUR "YEARBOOK ODYSSEY" |
