I lived there (for the most part) from the time I came home from Riverside Hospital in 1951 until I sold the house in June of 2006. This is the area bordered by Briarfield Road, Jefferson Avenue, Marshall Avenue, and Warwick Gardens. The class of 1970 classmates refer to ourselves as the Ellen Road good guys. There were the Caldwell sisters, (Debbie in our class). Wayne Mallory '66 (his sister Susan in our class). Roger Warf '66 "Ellen", Carol Warf '67 "Ellen", Nancy Sosebee '67 "Decatur Street", Janice Poole '66 "Decatur", Nathan Sosebee "Decatur", Dianne Adams '65 "Decatur", Alan Jones '69 "Ellen", Tommy Comer '67 "Ellen", Carol Comer '70, Charles Comer '71, Brenda Price '70 "Ellen", Warren Crisp '70 "Ellen", Jimmy Dinwiddie '67 "Greenway", Donnie Carter '68 "Greenway", Charles Morgan '67 "Temple?", Jerry Smith '68 "Ellen", Emily Calhoun '69 "Ellen". There were also (5) Prevatte sisters (Linda '70) who lived on Temple Lane. There were probably many more, but considering my age...the memory isn't totally gone!!
WOWZERS!!! Thanks,
Carol Anne! |

Our House
- Graham Nash I'll light the fire You put the flowers in the vase That you bought today Staring at the fire For hours and hours While I listen to you Play your love songs All night long for me Only for me Come to me now And rest your head for just five minutes Everything is good Such a cosy room The windows are illuminated By the sunshine *dudes* and Fiery gems for you Only for you Our house is a very, very fine house With two cats in the yard Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy 'Cause of you And our la,la,la, la,la etc I'll light the fire And you place the flowers in the jar That you bought today
