I am wondering if we have any Members that live in Meridian, Ms. I lived there for around 10 yrs when I was a child and would like to talk to someone that lives there now. We left and went back to Macon, Ga when I was around 10 and have been back only once since then. That was the summer after Cammille tore up the whole Gulf Coast and destroyed so many homes and businesses. I was talking to another Cutie today on the phone that has some family in Meridian and it left me sitting here and trying to remember so many things. Lillian lives in Alabama but has family in Meridian. We were both born and raised in Macon, Ga and even went to the same Junior and Senior High School. We never met each other when we were both in Macon because there was just enough age difference that we weren't in the same school at the same time. My Mom has been gone about 20 yrs but she was raised and schooled and married then had me in Macon, Ga. Her only job straight out of High School was with Southern Bell. She retired from there and never had another (paying) job. She and my dad did however moved to Ms. in 1946. She transfered with Southern Bell and followed Dad there because he had a job offer. I was just 3 months old at the time. We returned to Macon in 1957 or 58. Since I have been here on Cute, I have found out just how small this world is. My favorite place in this world is Seviere County Tn. I almost bought a home there a few yrs back but I got sick and had to have surgery so backed out at the last minute. I have arthritis now and can barely get around so my going days are over. I have fought the arthritis around 25 yrs and it is just about to get the best of me. I am mostly homebound and when I do get out, I suffer for days afterwards. I only get out when it is necessary!
