 Marian
Payne Dickson added some old family photos to the new Shutterfly site
from their time growing up at Dunson. To view them,
click here.
Just look under Photos and Videos.
See
if any of you guys recognize any of these young Callaway Shufflers
square dancers.
I
am in the process of migrating all the photos and videos from this
website and the on-line Photo Gallery to
http://dunsonmillvillage.shutterfly.com to hopefully provide a
better viewing experience for everyone. From this site you can
also make photo books, order photo items, etc. for your own collection.
None of the money generated from this site goes to me or the Dunson
Committee. It is offered only as a better place to store photos
and videos for sharing. There is also a Blog site where you can
enter your comments much the same way you do on the Guestbook.
Feel free to check it out and provide some feedback to
jerryonthelake@gmail.com.
 Joe Thrower
is now home from Panama City. He spent 3 days on the beach and 4
days in the hospital. All seems to be well.
Tina
Perryman's brother Larry Johnson, has been diagnosed with colon cancer and will
start treatments this coming week. Keep them in your prayers and put
him on your Churches' prayer lists.
The
Guestbook
is back operational. Let's see if we can get it all going again.
The invites went out 13 July, so be sure to
check the mail for yours. If you didn't receive an invite in the
mail, you can still attend by completing the form on this website and
sending it in. Click here to
see invitation. Also, note on the invite is a place to order
T-shirts if you would like to do that. Just place your order and
you will be able to pick them up either Friday night or Saturday.
How many of you remember making your house payments or rent at this
little building or buying that 6 cent Coke in the little bottles?
The
Reunion Planning Committee met again this past Tuesday, June 22nd to
begin to finalize some plans. Check out the Reunion Details link
on the left to see what's happening. The invitations will be going
out in the mail late next week so if you don't receive one or know
someone that didn't receive one, just print out the one that will be
posted to this website and use it.
As I said in an earlier posting, we have made every attempt to keep the
cost of this event the same but due to having the rent the facility this
year and getting an outside caterer for the food, it's not possible to
keep it at $20 per person. This year's event will cost $25 for
adults and $6 for children 10 and under. This includes the Friday
night event and I don't know any other event you could attend 2 days for
only $25. I know my high school reunion is going to cost me $50 a
person this year.
And the success of last year's Friday night event proved it was
something you like to do. We negotiated the $6 children's price to
encourage you to bring your children with your grandchildren so they may
experience or be around those fine people we all grew up with.
We are hoping for a record crowd this year and with your help we can do
it.
The Guestbook is getting active again. I guess because the reunion
is coming up in less than 3 months.
Why don't you click on the link and join in to share some memories?

Guestbook

Hey!!!
We're now on
Facebook and our group is growing. We're actually getting some
of the younger Dunsonites involved. If you're not a member, join us for updates.
You can post comments, upload photos, videos, etc. and keep current on
everything. Let me know if you have problems with any uploads. Of course, let's not neglect my website and of course
our Guestbook.
 For
those of you who haven't checked it out and would like to know what's
going on around LaGrange, check out this new website,
www.aroundlagrange.com.
A good site for those of you that don't live here anymore.
I
have now moved all the links to past articles/amusements/etc. to the
Older Links page. That gives those of you that want to refresh
them a link and keeps the newer stuff on this page. To see them,
click on the Older Links button on the left.
I've
added some songs from my brother Johnny's Gospel CD if you would like to
listen. Click here to listen and

I need you
guys to spread the word about this site. The more people we have
visiting, the better it gets. Besides, it gives me something to
do. I also need comments from those of you that are visiting it as
to what you would like to see or something done better. This is
not "My Site", it's "Our Site".
