Hi Joy, don't mean to butt in but saw in your message you were from Paris,
Tn. Did you happen to know Joy Jackson from there? Think she worked for the
Post Office after getting out of school at Murray State. Joy and I went to
Murray State at the same time, back in the 50's. She was a very good friend
of my wife. She still lives in Paris, not sure of her married name.
A hello to Joyce, have not emailed with her in a long time. We were doing
some genealogy research on the Jones's at that time.
