I guessed Pansy Fetner School because it felt like from the angle of the photo, the photographer's position was east of where I remember the hospital and that was the only other tall building that I could think of in that area. I can barely make out what appears to be the peak of the witch's hat bel...

I can help with some of those questions, Bruce. The engine on the left is, as you wrote, turning toward the west and Rockingham. There was a coal and fuel oil place inside that curve for most of the time I lived in Hamlet, and Southern National Bank was put there, too, while it existed. I don't know...

At some point while I was in elementary school, my grandfather H.L. Meacham took Lee and me on the morning train up to Raleigh. We ate at a lunch counter downtown, fed the squirrels on the capitol grounds and then visited the museum with the whale skeleton before catching an afternoon train home. My...

Mike Caskey, who was my eighth-grade general science teacher, resigned as Hamlet's football coach in February 1965, two seasons before this game was played. He died of cancer in September 1966 a year before this game. One of the changes in football over the years is that back then, quarterbacks -- n...

I played in that Monroe game and I remember it as the hardest-hitting game I was ever in. I was one of the eight players hurt in that game mentioned in the caption on the picture of Coach Bishop and Ricky Rasette. I was tackled returning a punt and hurt my knee. I finally had surgery on it in 1980 t...

Malcolm, I don't have an answer to your question, only a lot of interest in it. My father worked nights at the theater for several years when I was in high school, and I worked for him Fridays and Saturdays popping pop corn, running the concession stand and occasionally filling in to run the project...

I wasn’t at Peachtree, and I don’t doubt Bruce or Bill’s accounts of what happened there. But if public intoxication, child endangerment and unruly crowds were all it took for a county to ban the events that spawn that behavior, NASCAR would never have been allowed to run a lap at the speedway. Nor ...

I have a copy of a Hamlet history book published by the town's centennial committee in 1997. It confirms the previous story and adds some later history of the hospital and the Moncures. The building apparently was no longer a hospital by 1943, and it was rented by the U.S. Army as a headquarters for...
