Well, I don't think my memory goes back that far, but I hope this turns interesting. Thanks for being good enough to take these pictures Mr Blalock.

sigmore

Yepper, I remember ole Snell and his guns. I think he shot himself through both knee caps practicing quick drawing. R.I.P. my old friend.

sigmore

I beg to differ Mr Hassler, google is yoh buddie, concur? Yessir, I sure miss my ole buddy Mr Gregson. He was going to come down and visit the year he passed.

sigmore

I'll take that as a yes but you seem to have forgotten the "concur" clause in your contract. We'll let it slide this time.

sigmore

Now that you said that Freddie, I think I remember some horseshoe pits just west of the beach part, or I'm slowly losing my mind.

sigmore

I think that this section is to guess who is in the picture provided. There is another section if you are seeking info about someone.

sigmore

I was in Monroe and got stuck at my girlfriends house!! Oh the horror. When I finally did get home, we lived on Boyd Lake Road back in the woods. Our pole was the last one on that line. We did have a fireplace to cook in and a pond so we could flush the toilets. Me and cousin Ricky (RIP) rented a ch...

sigmore

Just a wild guess, but was it under a watermelon??

sigmore

10-4 there Freddie on the speaker. I wish there was still places like that around. I remember Tim Patrick chugging a bottle of aftershave lotion there one night on a dare. Had good races from there to the Coca-Cola plant.

sigmore

Just a wild guess, is the number you could call for the correct time??

sigmore

All the fun was on the east side. I had plum forgotten bout that phone booth on the Hi-Way side. 35 cent for a cold brew delivered to your vehicle and all you had to do is beep the horn and then flash the lights and help was on the way.

sigmore

An awesome little story. We all have them but some had it harder than others, so I always try to keep things in perspective and be thankful with what you have. Good one David. I'll miss ya'll this year. Been a tough one. Just couldn't make it up this year. Ya'll drink a cold one for me. I never woul...

sigmore

Well, that story made my eyes sweat a little. I know that look.

sigmore

I concur with that Freddie. I just had my lakes messed up. Been quite a while since I've cruised them roads. When they got bumpy there was a sweet spot you could hit and the bumps would smooth out. It was right on the edge of disaster, but it was lots of fun.

sigmore

Pretty sure you had to take a right off of Boyd Lake Road where it changed to dirt and go for a little ways and the lake was on the right. It was sad when the next generation started making it their dump, sad.

sigmore

I remember it back then when the feed and seed place was right beside it too. I don't remember how old I was but I think my uncle, Mike Campbell took me in there a couple of times. I remember also when it was probably the only pool room with no pool tables.

sigmore

That story right there is what keeps me coming back to this place. Thanks David ole bean. Sigmore

sigmore

Yepper, I remember that place well. Lived right across the street from it in that duplex for awhile. Was playing kick ball there one weekend and my shoe flew off my footie and went through the Principal's office window. Mama had to call him to open up so I could get my shoe and fess up.

sigmore

I remember quite a few of them folks. Mr Carnes loved the Miller beers, but only on the weekend. I think he really got Sidney Hodges in going heavy into weight lifting. I remember them doing peanut oil shots at the Hub and it went right out the other end and left a greasy spot.

sigmore

I felt kinda like Otis Campbell would've felt

if he'd a been kicked outa Sherriff Taylor's Motel.

sigmore

Where does my ole buddy Eric Freeman fall in this category. He gragiated with Frog and the rest of us hooligans in that almost last class at HHS. Class of 71.

sigmore

I'd like to see what would happen if you tried to have a raging good time cutting the fool and just having a blast "I'm sure a little adult spirits were flowing" like they are doing in todays atmosphere. It would probably make the national news. It's good to know that the parents cut the f...

sigmore

I haven't heard anything about Mr Gregson. Nothing bad I hope.

sigmore

We used to climb it all the time and take our walkie talkies up there to keep tabs on the town. CB radios were the craze back then. My call name was "Spud" and my call sign was KQK-2254. After the truckers got a hold of them the call signs and licenses went out the window. I remember savin...

sigmore

That sure was a good thing that were nice to each other. I think Wayne made a booboo and wrote kind instead of kin. Everyone gets one Wayne, and you're way overdue.

sigmore

I did not! The Hub Grill, maybe.

sigmore

I could never see it that good from the water tank.

sigmore

I would have absolutely gone to that establishment after an ad like that.

sigmore

No Bruce, it means to stick out your pinkie as you sip your suds.

sigmore

Nope, we're buds. That's kinda like a friend with benefits. Mr Gregson was trying to get a little too close, if you get my drift.

sigmore

The Hub Grill and Sarge's were the go joint to drink beer, eat and cry over the juke box. I remember when the Hub Grill got in a juke box that showed a film of girls dancing to the music. I think the "Hanky Panky" song was the favorite one for awhile.

sigmore

There you are, trying to social climb again. I'll bet you could drop famous names all week. I only know two people and they both don't know me. It's Hell being a has been Mr. Hassler. Can you be one of my friends? I dropped that Gregson boy lika hot tater awhile back.

sigmore

Where is everybody? The streets look almost deserted except for that shadowy guy in the middle of the street.

sigmore

I don't think Hamlet was even selling liquor in 51 were they? I remember when the ABC opened on Main Street on the west side of the tracks. Used to get one of them cab drivers to get us younger folk adult beverages. I think me and Terry Duncan floated a boat drinking that R & R Bourbon. Rest &am...

sigmore

Well that number sure opened a dusty old memory file of a phone number from the past. I remember when you could dial a certain number and hang up and your phone would start ringing. My parents hated that number.

sigmore

I worked at that Hardees for a while. He put me to cooking, slicing maters and that roast beef they used to sell. Made a buck and a quarter an hour for the whole time I worked there. Told me one day that if I didn't get my hair cut not to come back to work. Started at Tom and Sarah's the next day.

sigmore

And to top it all off, Benjamin "Sigmore" Fetner turned 1 year old. I had my first beers by then because I couldn't drink milk and one of Hamlet's finest Doctors told my owners to put me on a beer diet. Mamma said she'll never forget the day the Preacher came by the house and I was standin...

sigmore

I'm gonna make two guesses. Cotton Mouth Water Moccasin or the ever popular, Copper Head. Did I win something??

sigmore

I would guess the gubmint by huminoids of the A.A.species.

sigmore

That is a blast from the past seeing Mr Dunn on his Harley. He is one of the few I remember that really liked to ride.

sigmore

Well Tiz, you have to expect old farts to forget what we were doing at certain times of the year and everyone kinda hibernates or vegetates. I'm awake now!!

sigmore

David and I use it for exchanging information on the down low. Only I know the code to access it's contents which can be damaging at certain times of the equinox between summer and winter. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

sigmore

I remember when the train hit it. I think Steve Spurlin almost drove off of it when it first happened.

sigmore

Only one day after being on here for four years, a picture of the two victims. How weird is that??.

sigmore

Dang! I couldn't imagine hand cranking a diesel train engine. I'm quite sure that would be quite important and back cracking!!

sigmore

I think it refers to the right hand which is the one used to crank a car. I believe the right hand was also used to crank an older car with the crank handle. Did I win???

sigmore

Didn't they pour concrete over his coffin to prevent anyone from disturbing his site? I was fortunate enough to meet him also.

sigmore

From what I hear the dam dam busted and never got repaired. I think it's popularity had waned quite a bit before that happened though.

sigmore

Well that's a picture I've never seen of my Aunt Sandra. I sure remember the inside of Nana's house though. I wonder who took the picture? Diggin on them white socks and loafers. I wonder if he had pennies in them?

sigmore

Dang! I was 5 years old then. Don't remember Aunt Eunice looking like that. I was on a beer diet as a child. I loved my Doctors!
