Old English Song

If Candlemas be fair and bright, Come, Winter, have another flight; If Candlemas brings clouds and rain, Go Winter, and come not again. According to an old Scotch couplet... If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, There'll be twa (two) winters in the year. Another variation of the Scottish rhyme... If Candlemas day be dry and fair, The half o' winter to come and mair, If Candlemas day be wet and foul, The half of winter's gone at Yule.

Clebit, Dierks Lumber Co & SE Corner Oklahoma

"I would like to sign up for your newsletter.  You have already published one of my pictures of Clebit, OK, where my mother grew up.  A book has just recently been published about Clebit and the Dierks Lumber Co.  Viewing your website, I saw where your Uncle Bob was in WWII at the same time as my dad who is from Ludlow, OK.  My mom graduated from Battiest High School in Battiest, OK, and my dad attended Smithville High School in Smithville, OK.  He was a farmer as a boy and didn't graduate from high school.  After serving in the Army in WWII, he returned to my mom and they both attended Southeastern OK State College in Durant, OK.  I think my family is from the opposite corner of the state from yours.  They eminate from McCurtain and Leflore counties in the beautiful Ouachita Mountains of OK.

Greenbrier College for Women

"Greenbrier College for Women was never a 'finishing school' ... whatever that is.  In 1961, it was a two year preparatory school and junior college, with junior and senior highschool students as freshmen and sophomores at Greenbrier.  It was established, for the purpose of educating young women, on 7 Apr 1858 by an act passed by the Virginia General Assembly which incorporated it as the Lewisburg Female Institute Company in Lewisburg, Greenbrier County.
