My father just got a big kick out of this... TKE was not to be mentioned
in his house, ever. Guess it was the big competition. He went to school
is Dr. Thomas' grandson and spent half his childhood in the Lyric
Theater. Also remembers Reeds Department store and Jim Bain's Pharmacy.
So such a small world!

He's asking what year you graduated from High School? (that is if you
went to H.S in Tupelo). My father's name is Dean Robinson aka Buddy...

Merry Christmas
