This is the Bicentennial Parade from 1976, in Ashland. Richard Rochester took these pictures as he came through on his way to New Orleans. He took many photographs in and of New Orleans when he got there. I hope you can help us name all these folks as we head into America 250.

We mentioned Albert Patterson a few days ago. This is a summary of the story of Phenix City. Remember that Albert Patterson lived in New Site. He was the Principal at Clay County High School. He became an attorney and moved to Phenix City. His son, John Patterson, became the Governor. John passed away some years ago. John spent a lot of time in Clay County. Here is a summary of what Albert Patterson did while in Phenix City. There is a movie about this called "The Phenix City Story" that you might like to see.

Another great picture of CCHS Students in the 2000 Annual. I do wonder who came up with the idea to put graduates' pictures with their childhood pictures.

These are pictures of the schools in Lineville in the early 1900s. It would be great to get a full history on these school buildings. They were both amazing in size and style.

These are pictures from the Hatchett Creek Roundup back some years ago. We had our meetings at the only Presbyterian Church in Clay County. In the back is a big beautiful arbor, where we ate after our meeting. We had it every year until Covid hit. This was an earlier picture. I'm hoping some of you will remember who is in this picture. This was a lovely yearly gathering. I'm so sorry we couldn't keep it going. If you haven't been to Hatchett Creek, you need to take a little Sunday drive to take a look. It is a gorgeous place!

I have published this woman's picture a LOT of times, but I don't think I can possibly say what a scene stealer she was in every play she was ever in with the Clay County Arts League. She was as funny as anyone could possibly be. She could also sing up a storm! Here, she was playing a psychic. Madame Earnestine Caldwell wasn't a psychic, but she just about did everything else over the years. She served on boards throughout Clay County, including the Department of Human Resources Board. She also worked at the Sunshine Cleaners in Ashland for too many years to count. So glad she's still with us! No telling what's coming next! She might really start telling fortunes!
