Photos of the Week - A New Year - Updated today with 2 new photos, one a scan of a pencil sketch of Hanson's Drive-in and a photo from Joe Thrower dancing at the Big Oak.  Don't forget to check the previous ones from Jane Underwood Calhoun.  These are some real old photos, some as early as 1919.  Her mother Louise Polk Underwood lived in Dunson Mill Village and went to the Dunson Kindergarten.  She was one of the people who fought to save the building. 
Check it out!!

Need old photos from other Dunsonites too!!  Believe it or not, people like to see these old photos and remember what we looked like back then.  Let's start sending them in and I'll get them posted.  Click here....

Looks like entries in the Guestbook are picking up again I guess because we are getting close to the actual reunion.  Let's all get in there and participate and get some interest stirred up again.  The Guestbook link has been added to the quick menus on the right.

Charlie Farrar is now being published in the LaGrange Daily News as a guest contributor.  Be sure to watch for his comments on the editorial page.

I've added some songs from my brother Johnny's Gospel CD if you would like to listen.  Click here to listen and enjoy...

The next committee meeting is 30 June.  We have had good suggestions and the survey looks favorable for a get-together on Friday evening prior to Saturday's big event.  If you haven't answered my survey yet, do so before then.  Also, if you have any suggestions and have not sent them to me, please forward them to me at jerrykey1@charter.net and I will pass them along.  Remember, it is YOUR REUNION.  I would like to update the photo cube we used last year so I'm still looking for some old photos for that as well as to post to the website.

6/22/2009 - Charlie's Ramblings - New feature showcasing Charlie Farrar's anecdotal stories that he writes for the newspapers in Texas. 

$25 Charlie Joseph's Gift Certificate for any good quality photo of Hanson's Drive-In.  Surely some of you guys out there have one.  Same for any good quality photo of The Big Oak Drive-In.

I would love to find a picture of my Dad's old Skating Rink on the New Airport Road when it was first moved down there and a front was built on the road end where you went in and got your skates.  That was back in the '50's.  I would also be willing to pay for the picture.  I can be reached at 706-882-7981, 128 Old Newton Road South, LaGrange, GA  30240.

One of our Dunsonites, Bill Swann, has been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig Disease).  If you have the time, we're asking that you write him a message in the Guest Book so he can read it on the web.  His wife has said she would get a computer set up for him so he could do that.  I'm sure it would mean a lot.

Birthday List is growing.  Feel free to send spouse birthdays as well.  Send your birthday to jerry@dunsonmillvillage.com and I will post it to the website for friends to wish you a Happy Birthday.  (See link on left) - Updated 4/15/09.

5/25/2009 - In Memoriam -

  The date has been set for next year's reunion.  It will be Saturday, October 3rd, 2009.  We are looking at maybe even a 2-day event where Friday evening would be a meet-n-greet with families (children, grandchildren, etc.) and maybe have hot dogs and/or hamburgers where you just buy what you want.  There would be no program, just a social hour or two.  We have not secured a facility yet but hope to be able to return to Hoofer's for both events.  Send me an email at jerry@dunsonmillvillage.com to let me know what you think.

  I need you guys to spread the word about this site.  The more people we have visiting, the better it gets.  Besides, it gives me something to do.  I also need comments from those of you that are visiting it as to what you would like to see or something done better.  This is not "My Site", it's "Our Site".

All 257 Photos from this year's reunion have been posted...New Page 6 added with photos from Gail Looney Barber....click here

The Guestbook is really getting interesting now.  We have many memories to read, but we still need to hear from more of you!!  Remember, the more memories you stir now, the more you will have people ask you about at the reunion, so let's stir the pot!!!  Go to the Guestbook to check it out or add your own memories about growing up at Dunson....
