Thought I posted that Beebeetown is about 18 miles northwest of Neola. Was over there all the time.
I was born in 1952 so you can do the math. The old Catholic school in Neola was bought by Tri-Center and thatwhere us BBT, Persia and Neola kids went to Jr Hi.......’66 & ‘67 for me.
You mentioned Stamps didn’t you?? Our entire family was very good friends with the Persia Stamps. John & Betty. 3 boys I think. Dave, Kurt and drawing a blank on the third son.
We had family all around the Portsmouth, Defiance, Shelby, Harlan area. My sister was a Home Ec teacher at Harlan hs for close to 20 yrs and her hubby was General Mgr at the Co-op for that long. Four kids, current ages are between 39 and 32.
DM me if you want specific names or other info. No doubt that we would know a lot of the same folks. Am I close to yore folk’s age??
