Hello to all, I don't post very often, but this time I have a bit of history to
impart. Tomorrow, September 28, 2007, my parents will be married for "60 years".
They met at Mount Pleasant School that was situated on my Great-Grandparents/ Grandparents
farm, on Butternut Road, now under the Airport jet runway extension. My Grandparent's
Smith home, burned to the ground in January, 1940, in Ardmore. The family moved in with
relatives on Olive Road, my Great-Great Aunt and Uncle, and Mom and Dad both graduated
from Mount Pleasant with the class of 1942. Mother then went on to graduate from Central
High School with the class of 1946, and Dad served his country in Japan in WWII. Now, we
celebrate this milestone. They were blessed with us five children, twelve grandchildren,
and six great-grandchildren. Dad is now 80, and Mother 79, another milestone in our
family. They were married in the house that was built by my Great-Grandfather Grafton
Boyer. Nothing remains of the farm, or any of the area there, but an old 8 mm film taken
by my late Uncle Francis Boyer, Mother's oldest brother. We have pictures of the
house, Mount Pleasant School, and Mount Pleasant Church. My parents have lived here on
their little farm for almost 53 years. Stop by and have a piece of their Anniversary
Special cake, and a cup of coffee. The welcome mat is always out. Thanks, Marty Smith
