This is the beginning of what we hope will be a community project. George and I each have our own personal blogs. His is The Plantersville Connection, and mine is Ms. Sippi. Obviously, we are proud of our roots. So many have contributed their memories and old pictures, especially to his site, that I wanted to find a format where the pictures and written accounts could be shared more easily.  

The albums here are compilations of pictures we have collected from many sources. Viewing them is sure to stir old memories. Please take a moment to write down some of your favorite ones and send them to us. Don't think of this as Cathy and George's website; think of it as an expansion of The Plantersville Connection, a virtual museum. Your old pictures, your thoughts and memories are needed and appreciated. We hope to see the collection grow and will try to keep up to date with whatever you send.  

There is a guestbook at the bottom, so please sign it and let us know what you think. And you can add comments for each blog or for any picture. If you want to write a post for the blog, we'd like that, too; just send it to us. Registration is required for comments and the guestbook, but it's free. 

Cathy's e-mail address is magarr@bellsouth.net

George's is gkelly100@comcast.net

If you have trouble finding a place to add your name, as LaRue did on the first comment, just add your name to the end of your message.

Honor your mother or grandmother on Mother's Day May 13th with a couple of paragraphs about her most admirable qualities. We'll post them here thru May 20th. And may all you mothers have a Happy Mother's Day!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR

A reunion of Plantersville residents and former residents is being planned for July 28. Where will it be? The school? One of the churches? Tombigbee State Park? Estes Fish and Steak House? The mayor's house? Can't have beer at a couple of these. Tombigbee has a big conference center that's air conditioned. Will it be a BBQ/Fishfry/Cookout/Picnic, a catered meal, a White Trash Pot Luck Dinner? It is July, don't forget, and our tolerance for heat and sweat ain't what it used to be. cjg
