Tues. 1981 Fair hot to a shower at night.
Janice, Wendi & I went to Kingsport all day. When I got back I went for milk and over under the apple trees. Radious & Walter were here.
Footnote: Janice is her daughter and Wendi is her granddaughter. Kingsport, Tenn. is a nice sized town about 45 minutes drive from her home. They have some nice stores - my favorite was always F.W. Woolworth's 5 & 10. They had the best food at a counter with stools - the counter was about as deep as the building was. They also had water fountains that were marked for "Whites only" and one for "Colored Only". The water fountains were near the bathrooms which were also marked the same way. This was in the 50's. They also had the best chocolate covered peanuts ever. I do not know what she meant with the sentence about the apple trees. I can't read her writing well enough to figure it out. Radious & Walter are neighbors.
My note: I was talking to Mother (Edith Reasor Shuler) yesterday and she was reading the following obituary to me: Virginia Lee Reasor, age 94 , has passed away. She was from Deep Springs and lived 35 years in Big Stone Gap. In 1987 she moved to Johnson City to live the rest of her life in the Christian Village. She was the daughter of Samuel Logan and Lillie Agnes Smith Reasor. She is survived by nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by 6 brothers and 6 sisters.
Immediately, Mother started naming off all 12 of those children. I could not believe that she was able to do that, when 5 minutes before she couldn't think of Doug's name.
Anyway, I thought that those of you who remember Virginia Reasor would want to know. She was a school teacher in Big Stone Elementary.
