Ray and George

Those of you who knew Ray Monaghan, on the left, in school will notice that he has changed very little; don't know who that old man with him is.

Roy and Marsha Harris


Roy and Marsha were both members of the class of 1960. After Roy graduated from high school, his parents moved into their home just south of the cemetery in Plantersville. Roy's mother is in a retirement home, but they still maintain the house. Roy and Marsha live in Germantown, TN.

Roy, as many of you know, I did not, is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Morgan, and is Linda Stovall and the Borden twins first cousin on his father's side.

Linda and Jean

Linda Stovall Booth on the left with Jean O'Callaghan and her husband.

Jean's mother was a Kelly so we are distantly related while Linda and I are step first cousins, her father being my step-father's brother. Linda is married to Larry Booth, whose father Foster once had a cabinet shop in Mitchell's old store, I think that was the location.

Jean, as many of you remember, lived in the house directly behind the old post office and across the street from my grandmother.

THS Class of 1960 Reunion

Carole and I were in Tupelo this weekend for the class of 1960 reunion; in addition to Carole there are several members of this class from Plantersville or with Plantersville connections. Can you identify any of them from this picture? I'll list them in the next post.

Field Day


Carly's school had a field day last Friday, and Bop Bop has to brag; Carly won both her events. In this picture, Carly and her partner begin the wheelbarrow race; that's Carly on her hands being steered by Abby nearest the camera.

Carly and Abby won by about twenty yards.

Later in the relay race, Carly's team won first.
