In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

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.

The Knoll Mansion, Meridian MS

The Knoll Mansion is located on Poplar Springs Drive, Meridian, MS. It is owned by Fred Hulett and was recently featured in "393 Magazine," a local publication. About a month ago, I attended a gathering there and made a complete tour of the home. It is stunning, and Fred has furnished it with beautiful furniture and works of art, purchased all over the world. I was also given a CD of about 400 photographs made in the home by "393 Magazine." All the photographs in this video are from that CD.

Facts About The Knoll

  • It has 15,000 square feet with four stories (counting the basement and attic).
  • There are 13 fireplaces and two bars.
  • The house features 24 major rooms, including a French parlor, a gentlemen's smoking room, a library, a music room, a formal dining room, a butler's pantry, and a breakfast room.
    It has a one-lane bowling alley.
  • The Knoll also includes numerous bedrooms and baths on the second floor.
