[N. Theknow]

Between the two of us we fill a few South Carolina colleges.

Brother graduated The Citadel with honors. Two cousins graduated Columbia Summa Cum Laude. Two male cousins graduated USC, and another two from Clemson.

Mom and her two sisters all graduated from Winthrop. Her oldest sister graduated with the highest GPA in school history until my Mom beat her record. The youngest sister said "They spent a lot of time studying, I had fun."

The oldest of my Mom's sisters willed her home to the Methodist Church in Barnwell to be used as a parsonage. It was the first private home I ever was in that was air conditioned. Early 1050's.

Whenever their two sons and my brother and I were punished we were sent outside into the HEAT and HUMIDITY.

It was a wonderful house. Everything was built in and could not be moved. Only moving furniture was the dining room and kitchen table and chairs. Glass tile windows. It was a kid's dream house because you couldn't break anything! It even had an indoor grill so my uncle didn't have to go outside to grill steaks.

Early 1050's.

Oops! Should have been early 1950's.

I won't take up a whole page of replies, but my mother graduated from Coker College, and Anne and Carolyn went there, too.
Winthrop - my cousin, Betsy, and there were a LOT of aunts and uncles and cousins in other colleges.

University of SC? My older son graduated there; my granddaughter is a Junior there; niece graduated there and is going to Med School - another niece is at MUSC...

My grandfather, Reverend Martin Luther Banks, had the Methodist Church here in Barnwell in the latter 1920's!
Small world.

All of my relatives and parents friends had so many "things" and pictures and etc, that we kids were always playing outside. Living on the Isle of Palms and James Island, it wasn't any hardship staying outside from dawn to dusk.

We were required to nap every afternoon, but managed more than once to sneak out of the house,(giggle)!
