Re: Refurbished Nurses Sign
It looks really nice restored but them boys on "Pickers" would have a fit about the loss of that patina look. Hamlet has a lot of history that most people don't even know about. It was a good time growing up there.

From what I hear the dam dam busted and never got repaired. I think it's popularity had waned quite a bit before that happened though.

Re: 1957 News Messenger items
Well that's a picture I've never seen of my Aunt Sandra. I sure remember the inside of Nana's house though. I wonder who took the picture? Diggin on them white socks and loafers. I wonder if he had pennies in them?

I used to squirt grease in the bearing cups at the hump yard while my dad ate his supper. May not have been the hump yard though because sometimes I would have to wait for the train to slow to be able to hit every cup with the grease wand.
