See if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common?
1. Banana
2. Dresser

4. Potato
5. Revive
6. Uneven
7. Assess
 
 
Give it another try....
Look at each word carefully.  You'll kick yourself when you discover the Answer.  This is so cool.....
 
REMEMBER I ONLY SENT THIS TO MY SMART FRIENDS
 
NOW DON'T LET ME DOWN
 
No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters....
Answer is below!
 
 
Answer:
 
In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.
 
Did you figure it out?
 
No?  Then send this to more people and stump them as well.
 
Then, you'll feel better too.....!

O.K., the memory bank is empty. Need help. I remember being invited to a party by a girl, I think, in our class, maybe not. But the house was pretty amazing, the front yard--a 35 acre lake was super cool. I think the house was later converted to the "Club House" at Shireman Estates. Who the heck lived there when we were in school? I remember the spiral staircase in the house, but mainly I remember the lake. Cannot, for the life of me, remember the girl. Help?

Frank Hacker

Hi John,

Your talking about Janet Vandenbark. She was a year behind us. Their home is now Foxcliff Estates club house. The driveway to the house crosses the dam of the lake.

Frank Hacker

John Curtis

Thanks, Frank,

     I vaguely thought Vandenbark, but could not put a first name, or anything else, with it.

Thank you Frank Hacker for remembering my BIG birthday!!!!

Hi Kids,

Dick Arnold here. Some old class pictures of South School posted. We had Mrs. Evans for 3rd Grade. That 3rd Grade picture does not look like her as my old memory recalls.....maybe a substitue teacher was there that day?

Also, my brother Dave and I use to often stop on the way home at a little store at Columbus and Marion. I loved those long Chesty pretzels! Does anyone recall the name of that store and/or the folks that owned it? Thanks!

Frank Hacker

Hi Richard,

I couldn't find the 3rd grade picture, although I have seen it. The grocery store on Columbus and Marion was Maxwell Grocery. My aunt, Sybil Maxwell ran the store and lived across the street from it. The building was owned by my uncle, John McDaniel, who's home was in the back of the building. He also drove a school bus.

While helping a group build a handicap ramp last month, I ran into your brother, Peanut!

Frank Hacker

Richard Arnold

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the very informative answer on grocery store! 

The picture is in the Photo section, More From The Past, Rich McDaniel Collection.I am bottom row, far R and I think you are same row far L? Anyways, I just took another look and maybe it is Mrs Evans but I thought she was heavier?

Yes, brother Dave, aka "Peanut" is a ramp-builder.

Dick

Frank Hacker

Hi Richard,

I found the photo and the teacher in it is not Mrs. Evans. I thought it was Ms. Johnson, our 1st grade teacher.

Frank

Richard Arnold

Hi Frank,

I beleive you are correct, that does look like Helen Johnson. So, is this our 1st grade pic and not 3rd? Some of us look older then that but hard to say. Mrs. Johnson use to send her students post cards from her summer vacation venues, I still have mine. Will post it if I can find it. We had Mrs Rowland for 2nd grade; anyone know much about her?

Thanks, Dick

Dennis Bowman

Thanks for the pictures from South School. That first one first grade and the teacher was Mrs Johnson. I’m sure because that’s the only one I would have been in since we moved early my second grade year and I went to Central. Thanks so much for memories!  Dennis

Dennis Bowman

I was only in Mrs Rolands  room for early part of year. Here husband became principal of Poston Road and I believe she moved there to teach after South was closed

Just want to say HI and to see if anyone else has any interest in sign language? Our church will be having  a Deaf Conference next weekend, with a deaf minister coming in from Jackson. Miss. If you have never "heard" a deaf man preach, you will be in for a treat! He is truly anointed and even if you don't know a lot of signing, he is so animated, that you will understand a lot of what he says. We will have a "voice" interpreter there with a mic, interpreting for those "signing impared" folks...:-)

August 3-4-5....

   We are an old fashioned Penecostal church, so if you like that old time preaching, shouting, foot stomping music, then, I invite you to come on down!!! If not, Then I still invite you to come on down and experience it for yourself!!! You will love the experience and see how the Deaf worship the same as the hearing do!!

   I have spent the last 20 years, of my life, involved in the Deaf Ministries, as I have felt the call from the lord to minister to the Deaf to help them learn about Jesus. There are more thn 30 million in the USA!!! We don't realize it because they are just on the sidelines and if you don't know any Deaf, or don't use sign language, you just don't realize it, but they are there......

ALSO, IF YOU ARE COMING........FRIDAY NIGHT IS OUR SIGNSPIRATION......LIKE a hymn sing, but just sign teams, so if your church has a sign team, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, SO i  can get you on the scedule!! No matter the denomination.... we ALL SERVE THE SAME GOD!!!  So don't be afarid to come because you are not pentecostal!!! Our team goes out all the time to different churches to spread the Word in sign!!

    OK, I will step down now.......I get excited when I talk about this......:-)

Bedford, Ky..... go to my FaceBook page and you will find out more about this... or our church page, also.

Hi Kids,

On the NW corner of square is the eatery  "Come & Get It". Above it is some offcies/space. I have a feeble memory of visiting a dentist there when I was very young; before the family started going to Gordon Gray.

Can anyone confirm this and maybe the name of the dentist?

Thanks

Dick

Frank Hacker

Hi Richard,

Hope you and yours are well. I remember the dentist office. I believe his name was Hickman. Merry Christmas!

Thanks Frank!  A Happy Holidays to you and yours.
