The Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

My mamaw used to tell me some wild stories, passed down from her dad and grandfather.
Ivan Bedford, my grandfather, was from Maury County. Spent some time in Texas working cattle. Returned to Madison, and built a nice enterprise in property, retired from the Postal Service.

Coal Stove in the city.

Yes. Bedford was a family name honoring service under NBF. First Grand Wizard.

But…the rest of the story…

I was raised in Oak Ridge. First integrated school district south of the Mason Dixon Line.

Made the cover of Time in 1954. Wasn’t the first time the community influenced World History.
