Re: No Clue
My thinking is along the same lines as yours Bruce, but although the school was named before my time,I just don't remember that area being called Fairview Heights. Pinecroft, Kinsmon Lake, Highland Pines, East Hamlet, Longwood Park, Boyd Lake, Outside Community, Hare town, Steen town, Little Baltimo...

Re: Jody Meacham Newsletter about Ashton Locklear
I agree with what Tiz and others have commented about you Jody. You go the extra mile to involve others on a personal level. To this day, one of the most heart-felt stories I've ever read was the tribute you wrote about your father soon after his death--I believe it was in the Charlotte Observer whe...

Re: Jody Meacham Newsletter about Ashton Locklear
Another Hamlet native, Dr. Cecil Gordon, who was a Hamlet High classmate of both Sigmore and Lee Meacham (Jody's brother), is setting Olympic history by being selected as a starter swim official at the games. Hamlet stands proud of both of these quality individuals.

Re: Burnell McGirt article
Mr. McGirt is truly one of the finest men to ever call Hamlet home. As teenagers, many of us boys would awaken him and his family @ 5 a.m. to buy a $1.00 worth of bait from his bait farm located at his house. I'm talking week-ends, holidays, Sundays---he never complained and always had a good story ...

Re: Telephones 1965
I've managed to keep that same rotary dial number that was issued to my parents back in 1961---the one difference being several years ago our area code changed from (919) to (910)---I still remember from my childhood the "number please" operators---our home telephone number was 675 and the...

Re: Fairgrounds???
Any of you who truly knew my father "Pop" knew of his ability to tell a story. One of my favorites involved the fairgrounds and a Hamlet fair during the 40's. Seemingly, back then fairs were somewhat different than they are now. One of the main attractions involved a boxing ring where a wi...

Re: Fairgrounds???
My mother, Mildred Nettles, was one of the 10 Hartgrove children, most of whom were raised on 2nd Street near the fairground/athletic park. As a kid, I remember them reminiscing about the development of the City Lake and the recreation facilities there. The building on the north side (torn down last...

Re: Hamlet Football 1968
That 1968 Sanford team was one of the best in N.C. high school history. They had many good players and coach Gay, but their horse was Steve Jones--a great three sport 6 ft. 199 lb. athlete, who played both offense and defense on the football field. He also was the kicker/punter, and set state record...

Re: Dink
Wayne, Growing-up at my parent's service station (Pop and Mildred Nettles) brought me into contact with many different Hamlet families. I think the man you refer to may indeed be James Anderson ("Dink") Norton whom I was led to believe lived with his sister up on Raleigh street until the m...
