Face Book Posting that I captured

Posted by Joan LaCoix Lannie (67): Olive Branch, MS

 

Happy Birthday Dad ! You have been gone 44 years but I always think of you on your Birthday & remember all the Birthdays we celebrated together. Earnest F La Croix

Joan, I remember your dad well. I remember well of his passing too. He was a wonderful man, a model for all of us to follow. In our early childhood days our families were very close. I was young when you guys lived on the Johnny Hiatt farm, but I remember well being with your family a whole lot. After you moved to the Prairie, I remember visiting you guys there too. Gary

Regarding the Mountaineer’s 4-H Club Picture, after driving school bus for 9 years, I remember most of the kids from this area.

Back Row: Allen Stokes, Terry Olson, Gary Stokes

2^nd Row: Lawrence Hiatt ?, Obert Medlang, Dean Lamb, Monte Espe, Jim Hiatt, Martha Lamb, Marlys Hiatt

1^st Row: Darrell Stokes, Lyle Lagerquist, Rodney Lagerquist, Loren Johnson, Susan Hagen, Marlys Medlang, Karen Hagen

 

 

 

I check the blog every morning with my coffee and we really enjoy all the hard work you put into it. We are enjoying our time since we sold the lumberyard.

 

 

 

We were so saddened by the passing of our dear classmate Dwight Lang (61). Our condolences to DuWayne and all of Dwight’s family. We will miss him.

 

 

 

Thank you for keeping us all connected everyday.

Stan,

 

How well we remember you as our bus driver. You were among the very best.

 

You nailed this picture with all that everyone knows so far. The guy sitting in the 2nd row is still a mystery. I am thinking it’s Clifford Longer. He spent a lot of time at his aunt Margie Hiatt’s in those days. Vickie, Marlys, Lori or Jim Hiatt, Does this look like Clifford to you guys?

 

We are so glad to hear that you are now enjoying the freedoms of retired life. I’ll bet you miss the lumberyard though.
