1949 Alva High Graduates & MORE

Lee's parents (Joe and Mary Denner) and mine (Bruce and Louise Walters) were good friends. I was born in Alva, and we moved away when I was in first grade at Longfellow School. Interesting to see Lee's photo.

Since my older brother was in that class, I remember these two very well. I also remember the good old days on the square, including Blakemore's and the B&B Bar and Grill (there was a bar in the back half of the building). Chris and Loren Brehmer (father and son) purchased the B&B later. We sometimes had fish fries there when we could get the cooks to deep-fry our catch and serve it with french fries. I also remember when Safeway was in the east block on the north side of the square. Ahhhh . . . , the memories, memories. The downtown was alive then.

Uncle EJ Paris was my mother's youngest brother. And Alvin Paris was my mother's older brother.

Ah! Those were the day's my dear mother Ruby Barker Riggins saved that issue for her son who went south. I discovered it years later. That's my graduating class and Lee and E. J. were dear friends of mine, since departed. I was a classmate of Lee's from the first grade at Washington Elementary School.
