This is a digital photo I took of a framed photo Mildred had of the dredger . . .

and this one . . .

Eb said Mr. Griggs was the watchman
there when the dredge was shut down
so Eb and 'the Griggs twins' (Gene & Jim)
used to be able to go and jump off the dredge
and swim in the dredger pond!

Mildred entered this story in a contest held by the Western Sentinel newspaper and won 2nd prize!

This is a photo Frank & Delta Christ have
in the lobby
of the historic Blake Hotel
of the Dredge area near Callahan . . .
quite the operation!

Panorama of Greenview
Photo taken from Greenview Hill
also called Chapparal Hill

The Sweet Hotel now is only one story tall.
The Senior Center used to be Judge Baldwin's Variety Store.
The Grange Hall used to be where Mobile Mechanic shop is now
at the junction of Main Street and Quartz Valley Road.
The American Legion Hall used to be in the building
which is now the Grange Hall..

Does anyone know more about this photo
which Eb calls 'the Greenview bus'???

On the back of the photo Eb wrote:
'Callie Harris on step'

You might as well fix yourself

We talked about the Grammar School in Etna and I found two different photos of it. The people in this photo look much older than grammar school children!

It says: Brick school

I always enjoy comparing photos.
In this one the flag pole is to the left of front door
and there are no outdoor steps on left of building.

This one was taken by Eastman in 1941 . . .

Someone kept really busy moving flag poles
from one place to another around the
buildings in Etna back then!
Looks like a 'fire escape' was added to left side
and a few shrubs were planted!

Happy 99th 'new year' Mildred!

Mildred and daughter Bev
just before the cookie tray
was passed . . .

In joy!
