THROW BACK THURSDAY - PFEIFER'S plus CLASS NEWS!

Pfeifers was the first department store in Little Rock. It operated from 1899 until it was purchased by Dillard's in 1963. The building has been renovated and is on the National Register of Historic Places. 601 S Main Street.

And a picture of that same corner taken recently by our Classmate, Barbara Welton:

My mother was personnel director and later a buyer there. Barbara.

CLASS NEWS:
Last week was a story about Bill Shell - Dr. Shell - Knoxville, Tennessee, and his beautiful home. I received the following immediately from Jerrine Jones. Small world!!!!

Marylou,

 Thanks for the information about Bill Shell.  I was in Knoxville last week to visit friends who are involved with the Knoxville Symphony League qnd they shared with me their plans for a special event to benefit the Symphony at this fabulous house....they showed me pictures of every inch of the house and described where people would be, etc.  It sits on a hill overlooking the Tennessee River and is surrounded by several acres of wooded land. A beautiful setting

 Until I got your Throw Back today, I had no idea who Dr. Shell was; then I went to the link to UT that you sent...and was blown away by pictures of the glass house.  

What a coincidence!

All the furniture in the house was custom made to fit into certain places in the house.  The house has recently been sold...with all the furniture.
