This month the Everettes came to Lumber Bridge to strengthen the friendship bond. The pen pal relationship be tween LaRue and Lori began in March, 1971. "In my school, we were learning to write letters, and I wrote to the Little Rock public schools," LaRue relates. "Our teacher said if anyone was interested in a pen pal, to get the address after school, which I did," explains Lori. The girls worte letters to each other about all their activities, friends, pets and families. Pictures were exchanged often. One Christmas, LaRue's father let her call Lori. After that, the girls alternated calls every Christmas. "When Lori got married 1 called her," said LaRue. "And when you had Stephanie, Ronnie called me," LaRue added. Stephanie LeAnn Everett, now 19 months old, is named after LaRue, whose name is Stephanie LeRue Hairr Lane. Tim Lane says, "When 1 met Ronnie in Arkansas, it was like I had a buddy that I had known all my life, but hadn't met." "We like the same stuff," Ron nie Everett adds. "When they drove in Arkansas last year, it seems like we'd known them all of our lives." Upon learning more about each other, they were surprised to learn that both Tim and Ronnie were born in the delivery room of the same Fayetteville hospital. Ronnie's father was stationed at Fort Bragg and his mother worked at Roses in Eutaw. It pleases the girls so much that Tim and Ronnie have become such close friends. Lori says, "Everywhere we go, Ronnie has to send a post card to Tim, and now they've gotten to calling each other "pen pals" too."
