I gave my money when I was at Fairview Heights. I remember going on a field trip there. It hadn't been there long because there were parts of the ship that we couldn't enter yet.

Worked with Tony back in the 80's when we all worked with McCarter Electric in Laurinburg. RIP big guy, you've left examples of your work all over NC. Ben "Sigmore" Fetner. I see one of our fellow workers, the Rev June Grant is officiating.

sigmore

He will always be remembered for his sausage dogs. Worked for him for a little while and then realized that working in a kitchen all day wasn't my idea of fun way to make a living.

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.

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

Merry Christmas to you Freddie and all the gang. Do I hear a concur?

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

I think Alan cheated cause he ain't that much about memory stuff.

sigmore

I'm gonna tho my hat in there and guess Wilmington. What would I have won if I guessed it right??

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

It was this year. He was supposed for a little visit with us. I'll sure miss Gary, I can't cornbread him this year. We had some good times with him and his brother Ted. Ted and Bro Jim me and Mr Gregson sure got away with some shenanigans and we'll carry them times to our graves.

sigmore

It's been my pleasure David to be a part of your Hamlet site. I try and will always try to visit everyday! Sigmore

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

Dammit Gary, you were supposed to come and visit me in Florida this year. Good bye to a long time friend. We won't forget you Frog, RIP, Paco.

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

Jody, why would you spend MLK day in one of the whitest places in the country?? Sigmore needs to know.

sigmore

I did not! The Hub Grill, maybe.

sigmore

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

sigmore

All sounded good until they got to the congealed part.

sigmore

Dang it David, I was just fixin to post the very same thing. Seriously, I'm as mortified as you probably are.

sigmore

I think I remember going to Willie's Beauty Shop a time or two. What's the difference in a shop, a shoppe, or a salon??

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

I use to go there while I was in High School so I could get on their wifi, or use one of their pooters to look up stuff on line. I think it helped me a lot toward my stellar grades in high school.

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 remember those old Christmas lights that had garland and went from one side of the street to the other with the lantern in the middle of the street. Long time ago, still hanging around. Miss those old days when Christmas meant something.

sigmore

Well, it snot true!

sigmore

All that info was supposed to be on the down low. Who's the snot wad that told you those things??

sigmore

I am up for adoption Jody if you're interested. I don't do windows, but I'm a whiz on the grillin. I will even include my two Big Green Eggs in the deal!!!

sigmore

Had a good time there this year. I think it was the first time in at least 25 years that Mole Fox, J-Wheelie, and Banjo had been in the same building. That would be, Charles Maurice, Gary Caulk, and myself Sigmore Festus. It was good to see them all again. Now we could tell some stories!!

sigmore

They have some good BBQ places in Goldsboro too. Went to Scott's several times while I was working in that area. We'd go to the air base and sit on the back of the truck and watch them F-16's do touch and go's while time we would sip on some whiskey. Fell off the back of the truck a couple of times ...

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...

I saw them here a few years back at the Titusville Airport. Bumped into a lady on our way in who had some passes left to sit in the Thunderbirds Courtesy VIP section at the air show. Being of sound mind and body I readily accepted those passes and hauled ass to their courtesy tent. Right on the flig...
