<DIV><FONT face=Arial>When we moved from Almond and the great redwood tree in
the yard, they were making a freeway,we moved to Crystal white lockers or
something then to Gilmans Dairy,I remember living in the old CCC building on
Roxy Anne and there is a small section in the picture of a building.
We used to take rafts we made down bear creak made from piano boxes and inner
tubes we would launch near the Pigly Wiggly store by the bridge. And pick
those large black berries along the creek mom would make pies or we would sell
them to the stores. </FONT></DIV>

FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">Ah memories, Dell's hamburger stand (as
it was first called) was on 6th just west of Riverside by the late 30's at
least. My father, Emerson Merrick, used to eat there on occasion though
normally without my mother and me. At that time Dell's had 4 stools
inside and the counter at the sidewalk. Dad ran the auto court on the
east side of Riverside so it was easy access. Other places to eat what
we now call fast food were the Roxy Ann Fountain on Central between Main and
6th, and the soda fountain in the pharmacy on the corner of Main and
Riverside. Many, many changes to the town now but I left in 1948 for
college so to me it is frozen in time. When I was in junior high there
was a spudnut shop between Riverside and the bridge on Main too.<BR>I am
always willing to reminisce<BR>Phyl Merrick Purdum .</FONT>
