Re:

Sigmore, I had forgotten about Melvins. It is located in Whiteville N.C. and you do have to stand in line to get a burger. Wayne, Melvin's is in Elizabethtown.

This link will take you to photos of the 2nd act of the day at Peachtree, the all girl band Birtha. These are photos taken of them on stage at the speedway. As I recall they followed a band called The Fabulous Rhinestones from Woodstock, NY. Birtha blew their doors off. http://www.birtharocks.com/pi...

@ Bill Sapp

Bill, thanks for the most kind words about Dad and Mom. And thanks for reminding me that your Mom worked for Earle, because I had forgotten that. I remember her being a very fine and outgoing Lady herself.

@David

Thanks for posting that picture of Dad.

There were several different businnesses in that building between my Dad's office and Campbell's. But yes, that was where it was located. When Mr. Campbell sold it and it became Raleigh St. Pharmacy I believe it was a gentleman named Bob Clarkin who bought it and ran it. I think he and his family we...

Dad is still alive at 90, but he doesn't know who he is or anyone else for that matter. We have him in Britthaven down on 177. Dementia and strokes have taken their toll. My mom died in 2001 with melenoma.

My brother Bob still lives in their house on Dogwood Lane. He's a contractor.

I lived right across the street from Earle and Kathlene (sp) Campbell. They were both two of the finest people that I ever knew. Earle and my dad fished Santee-Cooper together quite a bit back in the 50's and 60's. I believe Earle also had a lot to do with the developement of Pinecroft. Mrs. Campbel...
