Feedback: Billy Conn photo more likely ca 1920

About: Bill Conn, Jr. sends fascinating old Columbia school photoHi Ed,

The class in this photo graduated from Columbia High School in 1928. My mother (Effie Sandusky) was born in 1910, so the date of the photo was probably closer to 1920. (This group looks older than five years old, which they would have been in 1915. My mother also has this photo at home in Columbia, and would know the date.)

Bill Conn, Jr. sends fascinating old Columbia school photo

Updated October 18, 2007, at 3:03pm

By Ed Waggener

Bill Conn, Jr., sent another fascinating photo to me to share with ColumbiaMagazine.com readers. It appeared to be from ca 1915, but new information places the time at more nearly 1920.

He wrote, "This old picture was found in some of our old things. I thought several folks might enjoy it, including you." It is. It brought to mind many great Columbians, and left remembering many and wondering about others I knew by name, but with whom I did not have a lot of personal contact.

Gas Price Drumbeat: Shops across border, in Russsell Springs

New shibboleth? -Give me 5 dollars
To ColumbiaMagazine.com

Amen! Gas is almost always $.15 to $.25 cheaper in Russell Springs than in Columbia. I drive through Russell everyday on my way to work and back. I happened to be on "empty' a few days ago while in Columbia, I pumped 5 bucks at the local station, hit the Russell Springs station on my way to work the next day for a fill up. We must be subject to a premium because we live in the great city of Columbia! Until it changes, I''ll do my gas pumping across the border in Russell Springs!s/ShannonContact information on file
