Get-well wishes to John Caldwell. He had emergency surgery in Cookeville hospital recently.

A baby tea was held at First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall in Gordonsville for Ryan and Lindsy Winfree for the arrival of their baby girl, Charlee Mac. They received lots of beautiful gifts.

Ralph and June Vaughn were among those attending the Cross Roads School reunion on Nov. 1. Held at Mt. Herman Baptist Church, the group enjoyed plenty of good memories from the years gone by as they looked through old photographs.

Ralph said he enjoyed talking with everyone, especially Harold Hale, Orvil Hendrix and Don Nixon, about the great Cross Roads basketball teams. There were many school rivalries back then; one in particular for Cross Roads was Belk, since the two schools played several times for the county championship. Another highlight was looking through Wayne Fuson’s collection of Valentine cards.

And of course, Ralph spent time with his long-time best friend Larry Stanley. When they began first grade together, for some reason they fought almost every day. But later they became friends for life. They even fought for each other when necessary.

Wanda Stanley Wallace, Yvonne Hendrixson Bonner and Peggy Braswell Caldwell put the program together. Wanda also wrote a poem for the event. It ended with these words…"As we look back to that old coal stove that kept us warm and the open windows that kept us cool, we know it did us more good than harm to go to Cross Roads School."
