Here is an interesting article from 1954 about all the people who bought houses along Country Club Drive and the area surrounding the golf course.

There was a cleaners at the corner of 50th & Penn. and a laundrymat next door. I lived 2nd house on S. side of 50th from the church.

I don't remember a Homer Hardy living there but there were three different families that lived in that house while we lived there which was in the 50's. I think we had moved by 1960.

I thought the oldest one was smart, he just did'nt know where to move his chess pieces

You got that one right. Brother Don has a genius IQ. How about PM me your name, I might know you.

What was the name of the people that lived SW of Grant in a house on the north side of the street with a bunch of cases of beer or beer cans stacked under the carport on the east side of the house? It was a few houses west of Penn.

I am at work, the oilpatch is slow, so I have been having fun pulling your chain all afternoon. I'm glad your in Ashville so you won't come and kick my ash!

[Redskins/General]

I almost forgot we had a policeman who lived next door his last name was Green.

Powell Chick the red headed cop!! He worked his off days at a business my dad owned driving a delivery truck, until he screwed up and gave my mother a ticket. We have very very unusual name, so there no way he could have made a mistake. I think he may have passed away, but I'm not for sure.

Do you know if Broom is still alive? I remember seeing that color of pink on the cannon and knew the connection.

[Redskins/General]

His running buddy cop for that area was a cop named J.R. Melton, he was a real dandy!

[SoonerGirl26]

The Green's had two sons and a daughter the boys names were Richard and Mike don't remember the girls name for sure but think it was Dianne she used to babysit me and one of my brothers. Neighbors that I can remember the Hunter's and the Bottom's. I quess that's where you got Butts. (Funny!!) I may remember some other family names after I think about it awhile.

Robert Green still owns the house at 2136 W 50; John Bottoms still owns the house at 2129 SW 50. Do you remember neighbors with these last names: Ward, Reed, Sousa, Rains, Crawford....

Property records show that Powell & Thelma Chick still own a house at 5120 S. Youngs.

I think he is still alive (69 years old). He has a house and phone listed on the north side of town.
