It's a great effort, glad to see it.
In your list of Bibb employees, my mother, Ida Mae Digby
worked in Osprey mill for approximately 45 years. My Dad was a
policeman as you show, but he was also Chief of Police of
Porterdale after Ray Potts retired. My aunt, Pauline Hammonds
was a Bibb employee, she is not listed.
In "Know these young boys" photo. #1 is one of
the Paterson boys, "Blunt" or his younger brother.
#10 could be Gypsy Smith. #4 could be one of the Womack boys,
not Jean, not Jimmy, but next younger brother.
In photo "Who are these youngsters." #20 is Gypsy
Smith
In photo "Who are these youngsters 2." First

think. Next to him on front row 2nd from right is Harold
Darby. 2nd row,1st one from right is Jack Lee Gates. Know
two others on back row but can't think of their names.
Picture of Porterdale Grammar School, the white door on the
bottom floor to the right of the steps was the lunch room run
by Mrs. Effie Boyd. She later ran the Village Inn. Upstairs
among the class rooms was the Porterdale Movie theater.
The old swimming pool shows the girl's bath house, the
boy's bath house is behind the camera. My cousin and I were
life guards at that pool for a couple of years about 1950.
