Hi June,
Don’t know too much about the girls, all my sisters seem to do ok with their homemade toys. I know I use to like it when the carpenters came around to make repairs on the houses and left the little ends of boards. I made all kind of cars and trucks just usint drink bottle caps for the wheels.

Hello everyone. I haven’t posted on the guest book for some time but I read it almost everyday. I was thinking - can anyone remember the "home made" toys we all made growing up at Dunson? I remember the sling shot (better know as a "flip", the tom walkers made from tin cans and ropes, the little churns that we girls made with a fruit jar, soap suds, and an empty thread spool, and of course the spring boards where many of us suffered skins and bruises while trying to hump the highest. We also enjoyed catching lightning bugs. I taught my grandchildren how we used to catch them and put them in coke bottles and jars and they were amazed. Can anyone think of any more "home made" toys?

| Wynette- Just in case the statute of limitations has not expired for "street light breaking" let’s not consider my statement as a "confession". It could have been Howard Harvell, Walter Gossett, Miles Koone, David Key, or any one of many others who could throw rocks better than I. And, since DNA had not been invented-- I retract my statement. Them wuz the good ol’ days. |

Hey Jenny! I remember someone busting a head on the jungle gym but I don’t remember who. I think you were in my sister, Sherral’s class. If so, I would have been in 4th grade when that happened. Sounds about right.
I remember playing Red Rover at recess and Judy Mann and I cracked heads. Teams liked to put us together because it was so easy to break through us. Judy was small but I was even smaller.
Jake -- now that you have confessed to shooting out the street lights in the Dunson village maybe someone will confess to shooting out the street light at the corner of Mountville Street and Georgia Avenue in the Dixie village. Daddy would grumble when someone would shoot it out -- didn’t bother us. That light pole was home base in tag and hide and seek. Lots of hopscotch played on that corner as well.  |

| Steve Sivell; I remember so well you busting your head on the jungle gym behind Dunson School. I guess we were in the 1st grade. It was the worst scene I could have imagined. Does anyone else remember this incident? |

| I was so skinny that I didn’t have to hide, just turn sideways. I guess there’s an up side to most everything |

Hi Jake,
If you got to break a light out you were lucky. Usually it was Lookey that had such good aim. Then Jack came along and we were never able to keep a light there. It made it good when we were plying hide and seek, right?

| Hey Gene Phillips, not much going on again on this site so I’ll take this space to say I’m sorry that I broke that street light in front of your house on Louise ST. way back when. That rock just went off accidently. Mr. Grant saw who did it but he never told. If he had I would have got a whoppin |
