I remember those good ole days when you could pump gas while smoking and have your engine running at the same time and not blow up the gas station.

sigmore

Is this a trick question? I remember one day back in 36 that the whole east coast froze over and only one train came through and he just wanted his bearings greased. I think it was in November.

sigmore

DANG! Look at the cleats on them shoes. I'd hate to get stomped with one of those cleated feets. Yowza!

sigmore

Thanks for the pictures David. Haven't seen Hamlet at Christmas for about 20 years. Time flies. Merry Christmas ya'll!

sigmore

Good stuff!! Keep it a comin. My Nana had a Buick Century that looked about like that, only a two door though. Uncle Mike took that thing from Shallotte to O.D. many times!!

sigmore

We affectionately call it Club "V". Nice meeting you also.

sigmore

I just paid the quarter and got me a basket!! Had a pond at our place on Boyd Lake road, just wasn't as crowded.

sigmore

Dangit man, that's the starship Enterprise in the sky over Hamlet!!!

sigmore

Or a Delta 88.

sigmore

Looks like my Grandaddy Ross on the left.

sigmore

All I can say is YOWZA!!! I sure glad I came after them there days! It looks as if a mortuary chipped in on those uniforms.

sigmore

Looks kinda like my Grandaddy, Ross Fetner, on the left. I'm pretty sure he was a conductor.

sigmore

I might have peed in that pool before. Didn't mean too.

sigmore

I sure do. My present wife and I used to be employed at that establishment. Not the eatery but the good time juke joint behind the place. Cuz Ricky, Bootie, Tommy Haliburton and all them other Jr Executives were in charge of all the tom foolery and good bands we had the pleasure of seeing down there!!

sigmore

DANG!! No wonder the girls were mad at me. I was not being very nice I reckon.

sigmore

DANG!

sigmore

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it means that the track is clear North and South. Let the laughter begin!

sigmore

Now if only Mr Gregon would get his much needed face lift, Hamlet might let him move from Rockingham to their fair city!!

sigmore

The side of the old Reese's Bicycle Shop??

sigmore

It is where the Hamlet Theatre is being renovated back into the Opera House is where it is. Is that clear??

sigmore

Pretty cool seeing what those old buildings looked like back then. Then being before the class of 71.

sigmore

It's a shame that a little town Like Hamlet has so many petty, self induced wounds to worry over. Some one in charge need to get off the high horses and get down to having a meaningful relation with the PEOPLE of Hamlet. Without the people, they have no town to reign over. My HO.

sigmore

Why doesn't anyone just have a little "paintin pardy" at the caboose. I'll bet yall could find enough volunteers to cook out and fix up the caboose with a little steam cleaning and some donated paint. Steal a bucket of red from the fire house!!

sigmore

Hank Williams, the man that made men cry!!

sigmore

Beep the horn for curb service! Had the first video juke box I ever saw. The older guys would play the Hankey Pankey song cause it has a bikini clad dancer in it.

sigmore

Dang It Man!! If costs $5.00 a year just for a locker, how could anyone be able to afford to play there???

sigmore

Don't be so modest there, sugah puddin. That's what my parents told me your name was. I think I have your autograph somewhere. Eat your heart out Mr Gregson!!

sigmore

Dag Nabbit Joe!! Where have you been to at? You haven't been hung up inna worm hole havyah??

sigmore

I'm curious Jody, how much did you cost?? I'll be willing to bet that cutie-puss cost a lot more than you did. No offense meant!!

sigmore

Jody, my wife won't let me use computers.

sigmore

Thanks David, cool stuff. Wonder what the tax rate was back then. Looks like it was pretty reasonable. Somebody that can do goezintas can comeback with an answer hopefully.

sigmore

I don't care who you are, that's good stuff right there!

sigmore

Yepper, Uncle Mike " Otis Campbell, no joking folks" is sure to know him. I don't remember that haircut though.

sigmore

I'll surely Concur on that one!!!! Is "surely" a word Jody???

sigmore

Yepper, that's the one I was thinking about. Dink Singletary.

sigmore

Y'all stoppit! Sounds like the "Outer Limits".

sigmore

It sure is funny how you can hear a word "Dink" and a face pops into memory. I don't know what he did, but I do remember his face!!

sigmore

Yepper, I remember my Dad talking about that accident. Shook him up a little. I also heard about a derailment with Vodka in one car and OJ in another. Seems some of the hooch got "damaged" shall we say!!

sigmore

Good stuff Bruce!! I'm a little shorter in the tooth than most of you Rail Road guys though so I'm going to school now. Keep it rolling. I used to grease the wheels at the hump yard while my Dad ate his supper. Had that little dropped down hut to sit in to put you in the right level to squirt grease...

sigmore

Looks like a UFO hovering over the picture of the engine.

sigmore

Sorry that you were offended by me and Mr. Gregson's attempts to inject a little humor into the soup of old memories as it were. I'll be more careful in the future.

sigmore

Yepper, you are right, Junior Peele. I had just remembered his last name but you beat me to the board. I'm whatcha call "stumped" then.

sigmore

That sure reminds me of a fellow I only knew as Junior. The clothing discription fits him to a tee but I don't remember a hat. I remember that at the gas station he worked at sometimes an older woman in a real nice car would come and pick him up for a date. He wouldn't say much about the date but he...

sigmore

Kinda, sorta, like a Tebow from Hamlet. He had it goin on.

sigmore

The way everyone is laughing and looking, someone standing beside Mr Rice musta pooted!!

sigmore

I see maybe Richard Fetner and Dr James?

sigmore

Dag Nabbit!! I didn't know I could have taken a tour. I got some good pictures myself though only of the outside, under, and over it. Didn't get to see the inside.

sigmore

That ugly, next to last one with the pitiful gut is Van "The Man" Billingsley. Helped him put up quite a few TV antennas.

sigmore

Thanks David. Good stuff about Hamlet.

sigmore

Is he the culprit?? Were'nt the trains here first?? LOL
