Pilot's and Climber's Clubs

 Above: Pilot's Club, 1959, dressed for the Town's Centennial.  Maybelle Parkinson with her ever present grin is dead center of the photo.
Other faces are familiar, but I'm not willing to go out on a limb. Suggestions and comments welcomed.
Photo by Mr. John H. Williams

The occasion for the above three photos is the 50th anniversary of the Climber's Club, April 14, 1955.

Again, familiar faces, but no firm identities.  In the last photo, to the right is Phyllis Johnson Spearman dressed in a period dress and I do believe that is Janice Hobbs at the end of the table, but I could be mistaken and am ready to stand corrected.

Suggestions and comments welcomed on these photos from the John Holly Williams collection as well.

Ride 'em Cowboy!

A young Virgil Brawley with his father aboard Nell, leading the 1951 Rodeo Parade in downtown Brookhaven.  Third horse back is carrying Paul Turnbough; an unidentified out-of-town calf roper is directly behind the Brawleys.

This photo was taken by John H. Williams and was restored by Lonnie Kees.

Let the Baby Boom Begin

From the John H. Williams Collection:  Marked Simply K.D. '46.  Presumably the date is 1946 and the K.D. stands for King's Daughters Hospital.

A Familiar Face in Need of a Name

This photo is classified as "unidentified" in the library, but he surely looks familiar to me.  I am pretty sure I know who this is, but I wish for others to either leave a comment here or on my Facebook page.  Photo is by John H. Williams.

Horseless Carriages and Bell Ringing Excitement
