In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

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.

New Historic Marker


City councilman, ward 5, John Harris, Mayor John Robert Smith, and Connie Royal revealed a new Historic marker Thursday afternoon to many residents of the Poplar Springs area. The Poplar Springs Historic marker was dedicated to Mrs. Charles A. Ray Sr. and Mrs. Richard Lyle who are longtime residents of the area. Read more about this in Sundays Meridian Star.

Mrs. Lyle, a cousin of mine, lived across the street from us on Poplar Springs Drive before we moved and before her house burned. Her father-in-law owned a mercantile store on Front Street in the 1800's and early 1900's, and my grandfather purchased items there.
