An email from Glenn Moore, class of 51 about Joyce Bland Turner, class of 53!!
Ray Turner's wife, Joyce, class of '53, went to the doctor for a check up....remember last year she had colon cancer....the doctors found several suspicious spots in the same area. She will begin treatments ASAP. George Lawhorn is in our Sunday School Class, and he requested prayer for both Joyce and Ray at this time.
Thanks.

General_NewsDeath of a class of 1929 Scrapper!!Posted by TerryWilliamson51 at 16:16, on Sunday, February 18, 2007
James H. 'Chick' Leonard, of Memphis, age 100,died Tuesday February 13, 2007. Chick graduated from South Side in the class of 1929. He was captain of the football team, lettered in baseball and was chosen for the All-Memphis football team. There was a long article in the Sunday newspaper saying he had visited all 50 states and Europe, and helped provide fuel to the Flying Tigers in China during World War 2. He had a very busy life and retired at age 84, and died 2 days short of his 100th birthday. He will surely be one of the few Scrappers who lived to his age.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Monday at Memphis Funeral Home, Poplar Chapel.
Webmaster_NewsSomething InterestingPosted by Josephus at 17:05, on Thursday, February 15, 2007
Occasionally I check the statistics for our site and today I found something interesting; in January we had hits from the following countries: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Latvia, Mexico, Norway, Romania, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles (Pronounced Sey'shel and is located in the Indian Ocean north of Madagascar), Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.
Over the last few months I had noticed a decisive increase in the hits and thought I would check it out.
The only thing I can imagine they were looking for is Elvis. "Memphis, Tennessee" is part of the description for our site so I guess that is probably what they retrieved from a search engine.
In Addition:
Our "Ramblings" site has received hits from: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Iceland, India, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, the U.S. Military, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
