Meridian High Wildcats '58: Kelso Interview, Meridianite Journalist

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.
Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

Kelso Interview, Meridianite Journalist

Click on the link to a lengthy interview with a Meridianite who grew up in Philadelphia, was educated at Randolph-Macon and worked for a newspaper in New Orleans. Her developing years spanned 2 WW's and the dramatic changes in the South during the 60's. It's long but quite interesting, if you're one who enjoys history. You'll recognize many names and events from throughout the South.
