Sites to Visit


 

Thanks, Butch Berry, for this new link.

Vietnam Wall
First click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear. Then click on their names. It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals.
This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it.
I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.
The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio's and other information on our lost heroes. Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site. Pass the link on to others, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.

Here is a site about the flood -

 This is a site I came across a few minutes ago and for the life of me, I don't remember how I found it. Beware of using the advice, unless you see a date newer than 2007 on it. However, it is a wealth of information and fun. "Older than Dirt quizes" humor, Radio shows, links to other good sites. LJ

Walt Grayson, not in our class, but an earlier GHS grad has a couple of his Look Around Mississippi books and lots more. I'm not trying to advertise for McCormick's but they have so much of local interest you out-of-towners will want to make it by while you are in Greenville. Check the website.

PS from Jennifer:

 Try these links and see if they work for you. If it takes you to a screen and nothing happens, see if you see the words TRY BETA at the upper right corner. If so, click there and see if the video plays from there. I have tried to figure out how to go straight to the site, has a better and bigger screen, but so far I have had no luck.  (Roz says: Try the BETA site like she says. There are some great photos, plus really nice music... Total of 147 pics. It is a slideshow and quite good. It really brought back lots of memories!)
