How many of you remember Dr. Willie Sears? The 1800 doctor had his office where Mr. Giddens' home is located today. Doc could blow a harp (mouth organ) like, "Sally in the Wildwood," he also wore galoshers in dry weather. The Wilbur Justice home is taking on a new coat of paint, a brownish brown and is looking nice at this writing. Yours truly, (that's me) painted the house for Mr. Sam Miles just after World War II................... Additional Comments: Dr. Willie Sears would be William David Sears.
