Bob finally got me an up to date picture
with his wife Peggy. He lives in Tennessee.
I get mail
Hi Larry, my father is John Wydick and aunt is Vida Lee Wydick. It is nice
to see pictures of when they were younger, I have my Father's report cards
from there and a few assorted pictures from that time period so it is nice
to see what you have. Thank you for all of the work you have done to make
this possible.

Larry -
thanks for the forward. Wydicks lived on the corner
south of the Old Rock house where we lived. Ron and I got into trouble
many times for going down to the Wydicks to play. Dad wanted us kids home
when he got home from work!
I visited with Vida Lee at one of the Minden Hish
School Reunions a year or two ago.

Dear John,
Larry Crouch forwarded your letter -- and I'm delighted to receive it.
How well I remember John and Lavada as well as your Grandparents. Right now
I'm looking at the 1943 Minden High yearbook where Lavada signed "Yes
Bobbie, ice cream and pop". My folks had a grocery store first in
Nashville and then on Hwy 43 about one mile from
Nashville. The school bus would stop at the store and I got her an
ice cream bar and a bottle of pop (knowing me it was a
Pepsi). Please send Lavada my love. And tell John hello. I would
like to know where they live and how they are doing. Bob Thurman
If you have information or photographs concerning the
descendants of Stephen Douglas Crouch or the Barton County village of Nashville,
Missouri, please contact me. I share my pictures and I return any photographs
entrusted to me promptly.
