...still scanning

I'm still scanning old pictures and have added some new ones to albums already posted. I think I'm coming to the end of the road, and you guys now have access to everything I have. But I AM the OCD Queen, so if I come across more, I won't be able to stop myself from scanning them. Just a friendly warning.

Jim Dodson makes a Fast Getaway!

Jim sent this tonight - take a listen, these guys are good!! I'm all ready to sing along with Mustang Sally...."ride, Sally, ride..." They'll be playing for us from 8 to 11. If you haven't already made your plans to attend the reunion, this should get you moving. Send your check and registration information to Sharon Blackwell Kirkpatrick and don't miss out!

From Jim....
We finally got our website up and running. It is www.fastgetawayband.com. There are photos, a playlist, scheduled events, 3 recordings of songs we do, and bios of hopefully everyone as soon as the rest of them get their rear ends in gear. 3 out of 6 so far is not very bad. Most of you probably remember Jimmie Warden, who played drums in the Monarchs for years.

Article from Pat Pepper Boleware

Pat came across this article in the Knoxville News Sentinel and clipped it out. Wow. We really were part of the cutting edge generation. I mean, just Sesame Street alone...!!

Don't you wish you'd had the money to buy a home that year!

Just click on the picture to enlarge the image so you can read it.

Or, you can find it HERE.

More pictures

I'm scanning them as I come to them, guys. Pat Pepper Boleware says I'm very brave, but I think I'm finally old enough to risk the ridicule. =)

For pictures of Russellville Junior High Choruses, Spring 1965, click HERE.

For pictures of some of the girls playing in the snow at my house, I'm guessing maybe spring of 1965, click HERE.

A hodgepodge of individual class photos - of the type we traded with one another. I was unsure of years. I'll edit them if you can identify the years for me. Click HERE to see them.

And to see our commencement program, click HERE.

Sorry the quality isn't better, but between the age of the pictures, the original quality, and putting them through a scanner, they suffer.

I'll add more as I find them.

By the way, if any of you have pictures you want to share, feel free. If you'd prefer for me to post them, just email them to me and I'll get them up.

Senior Scrapbook

Okay, everybody. I'm posting this thing, but you can't laugh. Right. Well, the thing is, this scrapbook was compiled by my mother, Hazel Carver. Those of you who knew her well, will see her handiwork all over the place. LOTS of tape, and LOTS of embarrassing clippings concerning me. Luckily, she didn't include a newspaper article singing my praises when I was potty-trained. Don't know how she missed that one.

So, apologies aside - it's a LOT of stuff to wade through, but I had forgotten a huge percentage of it and thought you guys might enjoy cruising through it. And you have the advantage of doing it without exposure to dust mites and mold!!

Hey. Did I just hear someone snickering?
