Herb Wright just finished his first round of chemo. 4 more to go for now. He and Duke look pretty comfortable to me!!!

For those of you who haven't been back to Little Rock in several years, here's a view that will be completely unrecognizable to you.

The year was 1941 and there was concern in the air at Smith’s Drug Store, where Heights residents gathered at the time to chat over fountain cokes and BLT’s. War was raging in Europe. Pearl Harbor would be bombed later that year. Little Rock would soon be a city of predominately women and children, with most able-bodied men called to duty. 3519 Arkansans would die in the war effort during the next four years.

Built in the period 1884 – 1892 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral is a featured landmark of the Little Rock's Quapaw Quarter.

SALUTE TO MITCHELL ELEMENTARY "BACK IN THE DAY"

We called ourselves the CEO Dinner Group = Classmates Eat Out. Gosh, I'm missing those Mondays! Hopefully, they'll be back soon. Here's hoping all of you are being particularly careful. No need to take chances, especially at our age.

"My dad was a WWll Veteran. He is buried at Ft. San Houston. He fought for and received the first GI Loan in America after it was voted into law. He bought our home in Little Rock, Arkansas." Sherry Quinn

This photo is looking south from the north end of the Broadway Bridge in the mid 1950s. The LR city hall is on the right in the distance. Where was Fisher's? Wouldn't you like to have a quarter for every time you drove across this Bridge? Looks quite different today.

The story starts in Naples, Italy, in the early 1900s when Giovanni Bruno arrived by boat to Ellis Island and opened one of the first pizzerias in New York City. Fast-forward to 1947, Bruno’s son Vincent “Jimmy” Bruno opens Little Italy Café in Levy, Arkansas.
