2021.03.11 THROW BACK THURSDAY - CAPITAL & MAIN IN 1946

In 1946, Little Rock was in a rush to get rid of their still fairly extensive trolley system, to be replaced with electric or diesel buses. Imagine how Main Street might be revitalized if a trolley line still operated on that route or how the Heights might benefit from patrons who rode in on a trolley rather than bringing more automobiles into an already congested area where parking can be impossible.

CLASS NEWS

In anticipation of publishing a new Class Directory for our 65th Reunion scheduled for September 24 and 25

this year at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, I've received some updates. Here are a few. If you need specifics, let

me know:

Martha Jane Williams has moved from Florida to Tennessee

Robert Gosnell has a new Hot Springs Village address

Les Grady has some updated information

Joel Hicks has given me his exact mailing address in Atkins. His wife Jodi is doing well in the nursing home.

There's probably more I've forgotten about. If so, I'll catch them next week. The important thing is, if you've

moved, gotten a new cell number, dropped your land line, etc., please let me know so I can update our

Directory. Also, be sure I have your birthdate -- only want month and day. (Like I can't figure the year out! ha)

Our sympathies to the family of Molly Jones Grose who passed away February 12, 2018.

Nancy Newsome Hoehn had a heart ablation this past Monday and was out of the hospital by Tuesday.

She has A-fib. The doctors are trying to avoid a pacemaker. We missed seeing her this past October when she

came to Little Rock for her sister, Tish's, 80th birthday.

I called Janet Spears last week. She says she's doing OK. She's still taking chemo, lost her hair, but

loving her "new digs". Says there's always someone around to play cards, bingo or just to visit with.

Joe Crow and Ginnie are still in Massachusetts. COVID hasn't hit there, so they're waiting until things

calm down a little more in Little Rock before they come home. He's posted some wonderful winter pictures

on Facebook.
