"I grew up in Mt. Pine, AR in the '50s. Mr. Woodell was still the store manager and used to give me a nickel every time my Mom took me to the store. One of the families that lived in the really "big" houses was the Hopsons. My next door neighbor was Ruben Smith, a sawyer. My Dad was a draftsman/engineer type and I got to go to the mill with him a lot. Watching the carriage go back and forth with a guy riding it was a highlight. When I was 18 and 19 I had summer jobs in the rework plant. I pulled sticks out of the lumber stack as the machine operator fed the boards into the saw that cut off the excess on the sides of the boards. This article brought back a lot of memories. BTW, I am now an Okie in OKC." -- Roy Kizzia - Email: roy.kizzia@tinker.af.mil
