a i ~~ ia Precious memories! How they ever flood my soul. My ears re- member hearing Red Foley singing this song, I think for the first time, in the mid-60's. Today, as we pon- der Memorial Day, surely this song says and sings for us what our memories would like to voice for us. For the last few weeks most of us in Grover have had an accumu- lation of memory inciters. One memory leads to another set of memories. I feel as though I've been sitting under a Niagara Falls itself with torrents of memories tumbling one after another. Every time I go to town new memories are added. Now I'm re- membering how cordially Annie Lee and Grover Rice always waved to everyone. They did not have a front porch, but they sat in their front yard up against the house with great pleasure and friendli- ness. I miss Elzie Hardin being on her front porch. Mrs. Addie Beam was one of the best porch sitters I've known. She lived near us for several years. She'd come home from work, go in the house for a few minutes, and come back and sit on the porch. She looked so re- laxed and unbothered. One day she moved to a house on Walnut Street. I rode by there that same date late in the afternoon and there was Mrs. Addie sitting on the front porch. I look forward to seeing Lillie Mae Rollins on her porch this summer and the Crisp gang when they're in town. I'll miss Skinny Davis being on his porch. I remember how comfortable Mrs. Bird always made me feel. Professor Bird was the principal at Grover School and I felt duty bound to feel a little bit intimidated by his presence, but not so with Mrs. Bird. I enjoyed comfortable memories with Mrs. Bird for a long time into our lives. Jack Hughes sent me some copies of school pictures made when I was in the third grade. Oh! Precious! Precious memories for sure! I thought the Hord sisters, Mary Lou, Maude Ava, and Lona, Were movie star gorgeous. Then Andy and Bessie's Bunch came home to Grove (we always do) for Sady, and memories cam in torrents again. Last week we gathered with Olie Mullinnix to remember the good life of Clyde. Olie and Clyde sure- ly exemplified what a good mar- riage and home life can be. His people became her people and her people became his, and their God was the one and same. Most of my news was hospital news last week. Stell Harry's fami- ly has kept a vigil for her all week. Being together like that and pre- cious sacred scenes unfold and un- fold. I remember coming home about 30 years ago, from Mrs. Mary Westmoreland's funeral service. I remember those big Westmoreland men's shoulders shaking with little boy sobs. This was their mama they were letting go of. When I got home my little boy Joe was playing with his new beautiful pure white kitty cat. And all of a sudden we watched it get run over by a car and couldn't do a thing about it. Joe shook with sobs. I keep remem- bering we might have to learn from kitty cats to let our larger loves go. Mary Robinson always remem- bers to include us in the specials at First Baptist. She called to invite Dixon News Dixon Has Visitors On Homecoming BY BECKIE STEWART Dixon Presbyterian Church ob- served Homecoming last Sunday.

The tradition of presenting a gift of a Bible to our high school grad- uate was observed Sunday. Rev. Allan Sinclair presented Andy Berry, 1989 KMSHS graduate, with a Bible. Andy is son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Berry. Everyone is invited to attend Bible School June 12-16 from 6 until 8 p.m. at Dixon Church.
