We were scouting around the remains of an old house and barn near Cawood KY and came across this discarded bear in a trash pit behind the house.
Some one remembers this, I’m sure.

Teddy bear
Hello, it must be spring
When the red, red robin comes, well, you know. Actually you can see robins here all year ’round, but this kind of fits the date.

Brick Grave Markers
I’d never run across brick grave markers before. These are in a remote multi-family cemetery in Southwest Virginia.
53 years ago
A school picture, taken in 1960. Mom had it hanging on the wall for ages and it faded badly. Here’s the original scan of the actual photo and what a little Photoshop Elements tweaking can do.
Gate City Couple
This was taken in 1976 or so, when a buddy of mine and I (both of us long-haired hippie types) loaded our cameras up with Tri-X film and went on a shoot in Gate City. I spotted this couple taking some, rather disapproving, note of my taking a picture of them.
Laundromat, dawn
I like to walk around the town just before dawn. Sometimes you get interesting pix.
Stu Can’t Spell
Not only can Stu not spell, he has a misunderstanding of how the old Kingsport telephone numbers worked. (When I visited Kingsport as a child in 1956, I was amazed at the dial telephones. We still had the operator system in Morristown. I was such a rube.)
Kayo #1
This was the Kayo Number 1 gas station on the corner of Industry Drive and Netherland Inn Road. It sat beside the Ward Feed facility (you can see the silos behind the station building) fronting on Netherland Inn Road. Both these buildings are long gone now, razed when the City put in the traffic circle. Surprisingly, the old Chuck’s Drive In building is still there, as part of a used car lot. Back in the ’60s, Chuck’s had the best burgers around.
