My mother, Virginia Howard,
and father James Wesley Howard lived in 305
Ferguson Park in 1944 through 1949
in Hornet Circle.
Some of her friends were Dorothy and Charles Yost, who had a son
named Chick. She was also friends with the Jackie Engle family.
Mother is age 93 and living in Prestonsburg, Kentucky. She has four children; Glenn, Bobby Doyle, Rose, and Alice.
She has fond memories of Bill's Barbecue, picking up fish off the beach, baking rolls and ice tea with Brenda Facin. She recalls going to town on the bus with three children in tow. She recalls Leggett's, Anderson-Newcomb, and LaVogue stores. She remembers the Capital Restaurant downtown. The mothers all helped one another while the husbands and fathers were at work. The park was a wonderful place to gather. The landscaping was beautiful.
She would like to hear from anyone who remembers her.
Her address is:
Virginia Howard
240 Westminister Street
Prestonsburg, KY 41653
