Charles Kingsley
I borrowed this picture of my first cousin, Charles Kingsley, and his dog from his son, Ronald's site. Charles and his wife, Grace, lived in Shannon for much of their lives, but now reside in Tupelo.
Ronald, as many of you know, married a Plantersville girl, Ellen Rooker, and they lived in Plantersville for a few years next door to the Rookers.

Matthew Morgan
Sympathy to the family of Matthew Morgan who drowned this weekend. Matthew was a member of First Baptist in Plantersville.
Matthew was the grandson of my stepfather's, Raymon Stovall, nephew, Hugh Morgan.

Elizabeth Ann Rogers Parker
Elizabeth's obituary was in this morning's paper; as many of you know, her father, Tommy, grew up in Plantersville; his parents lived between the Baptist church and Mitchell's store. Christine Rogers and Jimmie King were his sisters, I think. Someone help me with other family members.
Elizabeth married Waymon Parker who died in his mid forties and their daughter died suddenly last July. Elizabeth graduated from Tupelo High School in 1960 as did Carole; some of their classmates have kept us informed of Elizabeth's health problems. Their class's 50th reunion is in a month.
Waymon Parker's brother, Ronnie, married Diane Kingsley, my first cousin's daughter.
Sympathy to Elizabeth's family.

Chief Monts

"Please go to my profile page and vote for my nephew and fire chief, Tom Monts. He has been nominated to the All Star List for first responders and this is on the America's Most Wanted homepage. He is well deserving. This is really good for Plantersville, and pass this on if you can, and you can vote once a day.

Busy Three Weeks
On one of our first dates, Carole and I discovered that our birthdays are exactly three weeks apart, and we joked about getting married in the middle and celebrating for three weeks. Turns out, that's what we did. We are currently in our three week celebration and discovering that what sounded good in our 20s tends to be very tiring at our current ages.
Our 44th anniversary was this past Friday, and Carole's birthday is a week from Monday. Often, to add to the stress, Easter, as it did this year, falls during this period.
