Carol Perkins: It's only hair "Cancer is a lonely disease even if a person is never alone. Sometimes strength comes from different places." Carol's lifelong friend shared a story about her own battle and how she found that strength. "My strength came from a little girl named Sarah on the back of a cart in a grocery store," she relates in this heartwarming story of two strangers who somehow recognized a common bond.

Byron K. Watkins: Fond memories of the Garnett House  Byron M Watkins writes: The Garnett House once was the home of my Great Great Grandfather. Samuel Gipson Suddarth. He lived in Evansville IN when the photo was made. This information is in one of the photo histories of Columbia recently published. It would be a wonderful historical site had it not been lost due to fire. I have wanted to walk around the area sometime and see if any signs of the past still show!
