Linda Niven of Greenville, SC, has been the guest of May Alice Booker, her aunt, for a while. May Alice is in Alliance Health Care Hospital, room 323, recouping from a recent fall. Well wishes are sent her way!

The family of Millie Bell Rose had a get together last Sunday at City Cafe McA Style. Hurricane Katrina evacuees who attended were Ann Bell and Gil Newman of Gulfport. Other family members who were there were Milton Bell, Brandy Bell, Kelsie and Katelin Bell, also of Hernando, Renee Dowd of Plymouth, Ma., Sharon Stopa and Mathew Stopa of Olive Branch, Tina Edwards, Eric, Erica, Katie and Erin of Senatobia, Roy Cook and Chris Gray of Hickory Flat and Betty Scott, Jerry Scott, Robert Lutrell, Doug, Vicki and Megan Teel and Eleanor Algee, all of Holly Springs. A wonderful time was had by all, as well as a wonderful meal.

To my wonderful friend Rooster - there will never be a time that I won’t pick up a nine iron and hear you in my ear “not so hard, kid, just a little tap.” Fond memories of you will follow me throughout my lifetime.
