I thought I'd celebrate it by uploading a quick tribute and share it with you: http://www.public.usit.net/mcnamara/rachel/promnight.html ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 07 May 2000 23:50:11 -0700 From: "Billie R.

McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Park City people in the early 1930's Yesterday at an auction, I bought the scrapbook of Louise Featherston, who was a very busy teenager in Park City in 1933-1934. It's got newspaper clippings and lots of other neat stuff about her friends. This will be of value to families of the people -- I know most of you have Fountain City and north Knoxville interests, but I'm hoping someone will have grown up in Park City or know someone who did...<g> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 May 2000 00:15:52 -0700 From: "Billie R.
