I love Blue Ridge and Amacalola Falls (I doubt that is spelled right.) Canton, Helen and all up that direction--Wonderful country so far as I am concerned.<br /> <br /> I remembered that you told me you live in Marietta; I did back in the late 60s and until the last of March 1978, when we moved back to Arkansas. Been out here every since except I did come back out there to work in 1978 and 88, but didn't consider myself having moved back. My wife was still out here. Arkansas is where both of us were born and raised and bot on farms too. I remember Chatooga county, but can’t remember off-hand what towns are in it.

Remember I used to live in Marietta. Back in the day I have been told that was country too; although, you can\'t tell it now.<br /> When I lived in Marietta, I traveled a lot of those N. GA mountains getting out in the country every chance I had. I was after all from the Ozarks in Arkansas, so I felt right at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains.<br /> <br /> Johnny Yuma By the way Ruby where in North Georga are you from?

I remember them telling me about when my little sister was born. They sent the kids up to Uncle Victor's house. Aunt Clara asked what they were doiing up there at that time of day, and Eston said, "Thank we're going to have a baby." That was after being told not to tell why they were coming-not the real reason--I guess. I wasn't quite two years old so don't remember any of it personally only what I have been told over the years.<br /> <br /> Great stroy my friend.<br /> Johnny Yuma Hi Ruby,
