An easy post.  This picture was taken around 1960, just before my family moved to North Carolina, and was published in The Lexington Gazette.  I am the second from the left in the middle row. Bly Ann Buzzard, one of my girlfriends at the time, is the dark-haired girl beside me. And at least four relatives are there. If you can read the names, all the Alexanders and Closes are related.  Eddie Howard was my next door neighbor.  Next door meaning over the fence, across a field, and over another fence. He was one of my closest friends at the time.  Probably because he lived the closest to me.

Here's a better copy of the picture. Well maybe a little better.
