Jeff, I remember that Jim White had QUITE a problem with flooding in his basement during the 93 flood. Hoped it got fixed, BEFORE you go from bad to worse! Might want to check it out with Jim, IF, you haven't already! Best of luck if/when, you decide to move! Just wanted to give you a "heads up". Tom Milder. |

Tom, it wasn't just the 93 flood. I remember as a kid the flood of 65 and all the problems they had back then. Dick Wilson had his crew there 24 hours pulling out buckets of water from under the sidewalk. I went down a couple of time in the middle of the night with Dad and Grandpa. In 2001 Jim had a sump pump installed so most of the problem is resolved. WE HOPE! Thanks for the info, talk to you later. |

We are moving to the old Wilson's Shoe Store 127 E. 2nd. The neat part of the story is I worked at Wilson's Shoes when I was in high school. I was the stockboy and I saw in Dick Wilson a love of retailing and I knew at age 17 someday I would own my own store. Now nearly 40 years later I am opening my store where it all began for me. Talk about the whole circle of life thing.

Don Bridges! I haven't thought of him in years. What a character! And he was such a prankster. Always pulling jokes on people. My grandpa worked at Wilson's and there was somebody who would deliver fresh eggs from the farm down to the shoestore for Grandpa to take home. They would drop them off at the back door where Don worked. So one day Don took the 2 dozen eggs home on his lunch hour and had his wife hard boli them up. He put them back in the cartons and Grandpa took them home that night. He and Grandma couldn't figure out for the life of them why the farmer had given them hard-booiled eggs. I love Don. He was a great ol' boy. Yeah, I remember him very fondly. |
