September 25, 1981 Aunt Estelle wrote

Friday  1981.   Fair   Warm. 

We had to go to Pennington to get Millard's teeth adjusted.  This eve we went over to Nell Reasor's orchard & picked up apples &  pears.  I was over to Ruth's a minute. 


Footnote:   Pennington Gap is a town about 8 miles West of her house.  Millard is her husband.  Nell Reasor is George Reasor's wife and they live a few minutes from her house.  Don't know where her orchard is.   I think they were part of another Reasor clan and not closely related.    Ruth Reasor is her sister-in-law ( I think that is who she is talking about) who lives just across the road. 


My note:  George and Nell Reasor had a few children - I remember Patty - she married Aubrey Hobbs and has lived all her life in Lee County and not too far from where she grew up.  They were good members of the Deep Springs Baptist Church.  Patty played the piano - probably still does.  They had two other daughters that I remember - Mary Grace and Gail.   Mary Grace  could sing like a bird and I can't remember for sure but I think Gail sang also.  They have a son, George (I think that is right) and he lives near Smith Kevin in the Blackburg area.  Smith has worked with him.   I always wondered why they sent Mary Grace to Big Stone Gap to school and all the other kids went to Dryden to school.  I graduated with Mary Grace in 1960 from Powell Valley High School.  She was voted "Prettiest" by the class members and she was a very pretty girl.  Never had a boyfriend in school that I know of.  She was very quiet and very smart.   I think she lives in Virginia also.  Haven't seen her since we graduated, she never came to a reunion. 

OK I got a lot to do today, so I best get at it.  Got a show Saturday and have to set up tomorrow, Friday.  Lots of dolls left with no hair so I gotta get that done today.
