Another Blast From the Past!

By LINDA ADAMS

	This week's photo is from 1943.  It was taken in front of the Tea Room 
located on Oglethorpe Street beside Ellaville Floral Shop.  This is the same 
building which is being renovated by Barrow Energies and is featured in 
another article in this week's paper.
	School Superintendent J.L. Duncan was taking the school bus drivers to 
lunch to honor Jesse McLendon who was home on his first furlough.  
	Seated on the left is Roy Johnson, who drove his bus from Lowe 
Community.  On the right is Leo Williams, driving from LaCrosse.  Standing 
from left to right is Charlie Hill Greene, who drove from Andrew Chapel.  Next 
was Willy Stewart from Ebenezer.   Superintendent Duncan is next with Albin 
Snipes from Glen Holly right behind him.  Glen Holly was in the vicinity of 
Hopewell.  Raymond Duncan, son of J. L., is next in line.  Raymond also served 
as Superintendent starting in 1949.  In addition, he was the well known editor 
of the Ellaville Sun Newspaper.  Jesse McLendon stands next in his uniform.  
Jesse's brother in law, Sidney Lee is next.  He drove from County Line 
Community.  Lester McMickle is next and he drove from Concord Community.  Next 
is Grady Halstead who drove from Midway.  
	Jesse McLendon also drove a school bus before joining the Army Air 
Core in World War II.  At that time drivers owned their own busses.  Jesse 
gave his bus and route to Sidney Lee when he left for the service.
