Hi,
 

Great website!!  Kay Coggin put me onto it.. My name is Mell Grove (son of A.G. and Nettie Grove).  He was the Personnel Director for Bibb from the early 40's until he retired in the 60's.  We lived at 28 North Broad St (next to Doctor Mitchell) and the memories are flooding now!!
 
I grew up with Billy Shaw, Bob Mitchell and the gang! I left Porterdale in 1962 to join the Air Force (did a tour in Vietnam, 1965) and now live in Columbia, SC as a 7th grade geography teacher!!  Not one of my teachers would ever believe that!!!!!
Thanks and could be too long-winded!!  Thanks for the memories!!

My older brother George graduated around 1956 or 1957.
The baseball games, softball games and all the times of the summer in Porterdale was an awesome time.
Really glad to get the website and will be a regular visitor.

 

My mom, Nettie Grove, was a member for years around the same time Lucile Shaw.  I believe she was President of the Club for a period of time..
