Everyday when I got off of the school bus there was a little girl waiting for me to take her for a walk. My little sister Morgan couldn't wait and we would always take the same route. First, we would walk up North Street to visit Libby Lint and her brother Bill (pictured below) and their sister Lena Bell Young. They would fuss over her, give her snacks and show her vegetables in their gardens. Then we would walk over to see my friend Debbie Carter, who lived on Main Street, and then over to the other side of town to visit our grandparents Vance and Ruth Ross, and great-grandparents Isaac and Mary Brown. It took us a long time, but she loved it.
This picture is cute, but now it takes on even greater meaning. If you look closely, on the other side of Main Street (beyond Mr. Shultsky's house - not sure of the spelling here) you can see the porch of a white house. Morgan lives in this house today with her husband James Muhly and their three little boys. Jim's grandparents James and Grace McManus lived in Clarksville, in a house across the street and just beyond the left view of this photo.
Morgan is pictured here with Bill Lint in front of the house of his sister, Lena Bell Young.

That is so amazing! I love the pictures and the story. And the fact that someone I adore has a big sister who loves her so much!
