Catherine Huston is my mother. After 82 years she still recognizes everyone almost as quickly as you can point at them. Well, as quickly as you can point to them. I am quite a bit slower than you are or than I wuz. Emily Calcut was my mother's best friend when they were kids. I believe they still got together last summer (2009) when my mom stayed up at the farm for a couple of weeks. Emily married Roy Edmonds, and she was the mother of Jim Edmonds. Jim was a friend and one of my role models when I was about twelve. He could play ball better than I could.

Orlie Spink was a long-time school teacher. He taught at the Beaver Lake school. This school on M-65 is now a private residence.

Note the stylish sedan by the side of the building. The school is now a ruin. The main ridge beam fell in.
