It hasn't been that long ago, but these aren't around anymore.  

Band-Aids in tin box with hinged lid.  Nothing but the best for the Boomers!

as accident prone as I am I have Band-Aids in both cars on my tractor and my house in four rooms. And it doesn't help to be on blood thinners. Getting old is not for Sissies.

David, blood thinners don't help, but we are blessed with so ways to plug all the holes when we spring a leak.  Old age certainly isn't for Sissies. I love this Tee shirt which expresses my desire to not have to proove my ability to keep a stiff upper lip all the time. k

I posted this once before  but will do it again. When the '65 football Bearcats were on defence these two fellas were our cornerbacks. When those big offensive gaurds pulled on a sweep around end and some big fullback or speedy halfback was coming fast, these 2 Bearcats took the brunt of the punishment on hitting them first. Jimmy Laughridge and I at saftey would come pile on. Sometimes we got credit for the tackle which really was't fair.

Ernie , great to see you up and around !!!

Classmates,

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that classmate Ernie Wright was taken from us earler this morning, Friday, March 8. I received the word from Harry Blue who has been best friends with Ernie since the days they both anchored the defensive backfield for our Bearcat football team. I know Ernie's wife Laura, their children, grandchildren and others in their inner circle would covet your prayers at this difficult time. You finished well, Ernie. Well done, sir.

I'm sorry to hear the news about Ernie. I remember Ernie from Sylvia Circle days until RHHS. About 10 years ago I carried my brother-in-law the the ER in RH and a gentleman spoke to me. I didn't recognize Ernie at first but it was great  to see Ernie there.  We had a nice chat and filled in some old times. So many great memories.

Anne, thank you for checking in. It is good to hear from you!

My sympathies to the family of Ernie Wright, a loyal friend to those who knew him and a dedicated member of our class through the years.

May the days ahead bind us closer together as we recall our youth and days as Bearcats. Keep the faith everyone and stay in touch.

Becky

So sorry to hear of Ernie's passing.  We played sports against and with each other from elementary school to high school.  He was a nice guy.  He would work shutdowns at Bowater on occasion and of course, we would chat at reunions. Prayers for his family.

So sorry to hear about Earnie's passing. He was such a nice guy and always had a smile and a kind word. We were all better by knowing him.

My condolences especially to Laura. They were a great team. Peace to her and all who loved him.

George Crow and I attended Ernie's funeral service this afternoon in York along with many other Bearcat classmates.. The church was packed. It was a beautiful and heartwarming service. Ernie truly gave back to our community through his many years work in EMS.

Bill, thanks for sharing with us that Ernie was loved by so many.  I didn't know him very well, but I remember him in school  always smiling and seemed to be a happy person. He was always kind and thoughtful.  It makes me happy to hear that all of his good energy was being returned to him by the many who were touched by him. Peace, Ernie, and prayers and love to Laura and the family at this very difficult time.

Today, i've been thinking about when I first moved to Rock Hill in 1961-ish to an older Craftsman house over on College Avenue. The house had a strange floor plan, but many charming details such as a "butler's pantry" with built-in cabinets and a telephone nook.  Built-in bookcases. There was a storm cellar outside, but no one dared go down there.  There was a claw-foot bathtub with a black and white tile floor with a tall frosted glass window over the tub, and a wonderfully huge front porch. There was a utility back porch as well.  One thing that always peaked my curiocity was the alley that ran behind the house.  I don't think I ever saw a vehicle of any kind on the little street back there.  Did anyone else have an alley? If so, what were they used for and when? The old area of Rock Hill was full of interesting little details. I'd love to know more about those times and what things were used for.

Out of all places I've lived we came back to rock Hill South Carolina. This is Home.

My family did a lot of moving around as well. I started out in Lockhart South Carolina near my grandparents the Good family. We moved to Spartanburg, South Carolina when I was five. Then we moved to Chester South Carolina when I was eight on a farm. Right after I turned 12 years old in the sixth grade, we moved to Rock Hill and I attended northside Elementary school and my teacher was Mrs. Watson.

 My first friend that took me under his wing and showed me around was Troy Canty. I still think a lot of Troy and all the others there at Northside Elementary even though I was only there one year. And yes on the village everybody has an alley that's where they used to have the outhouses.

We built a house out in Feimster acres where Rock Hill high school is today. 
 

if it had not been for all those moves, I would have never met the love of my life in the second grade at Westchester elementary school. Wylie Ann was in the first grade and we played baseball and fell in love. Then we got married in 1967 and still together today.

David, what a great story!  Thanks for the history of the alley also.  Though I didn't enjoy moving so much as a child, I must say I lived in some great places and met some very special people.  I still communicate with two of my closest friends in Ann Arbor, one of which has moved to the Asheville area in NC. I left there 65 years ago.  It is really special when someone opens his heart and welcomes you as a friend like Troy did you.  It means so much to the new kid in the neighborhood.  Thanks for sharing!
