Great Gertie, what&#8217;s going on here? What&#8217;s happened to these lovely children? Those who subscribe to the notion of never throwing away clothes because they&#8217;ll eventually come back in style can now rejoice and go to digging in dusty boxes for those plaid shorts that once fit them like Italian-made gloves.

Perspective.
The late Burney Reese used to talk about his long-time friend Roy Austin for a number of reasons, one of which concerned the chemicals Mr. Roy used when he sprayed houses for a local exterminating concern.

If the framers and signers of the Declaration of Independence had known then what we&#8217;ve all known for decades, they might&#8217;ve changed the wording of part of this precious document a skosh. 
You know the part: &#8220;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal&#8230;&#8221;           ]]></description>

Who to blame? Who to thank?
In these highly-uncertain economic times, one company&#8217;s stock is bound to soar real soon.           ]]></description>

Thanks somewhat to Harrell Thompson, the past two Sunday afternoons have been about as different as two similar days can be&#8230;or as similar as two different days can be.

Anyway, on Sunday, April 13, Harrell called from Peavy Park where he was watching the Enterprise Red Sox semi-pro baseball team play.

Since we were just beyond the scope of woods, watching Enterprise-Ozark Community College Boll Weevils baseball coach Tim Hulsey drag the infield between games of a doubleheader against Central Alabama, Roosevelt Roberts, Charles Cole, et. al. scooted over to join Harrell.           ]]></description>

It happens every spring.

At least it does in the homes of Bill Sellers and the elderly trencherman who types these words.

No, this ain&#8217;t about the Ray Milland baseball movie, &#8220;It Happens Every Spring,&#8221; and it ain&#8217;t about planting a garden.           ]]></description>

There&#8217;s a fierce killer haunting the Enterprise-Ozark Community College/Enterprise High School campus and nobody seems worried about it.

Never have been.

If the key to the city of Enterprise was clutched in one of the grubby paws typing these words, the town would be in total lock-down later this week!

Another legend has died.

Miss Nell Hagood, who taught piano in public schools more than 40 years, died Monday morning at age 94.           ]]></description>

Life as an Enterprise High School senior in the 21st century is not exactly like what we experienced when the EHS class of 1968 marched through our senior year headed toward our graduation exactly 40 Mays ago.

But there are some similarities between what&#8217;s happening this prom weekend and the one we enjoyed while preparing to go out and grab the world by the tail.           ]]></description>

If you never knew Sterlyn Speigner, your life is not as complete as it could be. Maybe these words will fill in a chink or two.

In perhaps the understatement of the year, Sterlyn was one of those fellows who never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

The tale he told about arriving on the scene so soon after bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde Barrow were ambushed and killed that the cigar in Bonnie&#8217;s left hand was still smoking and the left rear tire of their car was still spinning prompted Wayne Whitehead and Dick Adams to make a bet in April 1968, a bet kept secret for decades.           ]]></description>

Members of Dorothy Searcy&#8217;s immediate family can easily fit into any popular size picture. But trying to fit images of families she&#8217;s touched during her lifetime into a single snapshot would be impossible.

Dorothy Bevis Searcy recently celebrated her 90th birthday as she&#8217;s celebrated those leading up to it: with her loving family on hand.

Dorothy Bevis and her brother, the late Bartow Bevis, moved to Enterprise with their parents when Dorothy was 9 years old and ultimately settled on West College Street next door to the Virgil Warren family, directly across the street from then-Coffee County High School.           ]]></description>

When Elizabeth Russ Nelson Byrd&#8217;s name appeared on this newspaper&#8217;s obituary page, memories of some of Enterprise&#8217;s &#8220;finest&#8221; came flooding back.

First, &#8220;Miss&#8221; Elizabeth&#8217;s daddy, former Enterprise Mayor Dewey Russ, who in the late 1960s, long after leaving politics, hung around City Auto Sales where his brother-in-law, Sterlyn Speigner, and others of us worked.

One time, we&#8217;d sold two Dodge chassis to Smith Lumber Co. and had flown two employees to Columbus, Ohio, to get them and drive them to Nashville, where cement mixer bodies would be installed.           ]]></description>
