Good morning!! We need your help 🤍
Last week, my husband Harley was running out of the schoolhouse when he stopped briefly to talk with a gentleman and his three daughters. The man mentioned he lived in Fortson and shared a quick story about jumping out of the school office window during the day just to go play. He was using a cane, and you could immediately tell he carried so many memories of this place and time.
Unfortunately, Harley was already late picking up our children and couldn’t stay to talk longer. We’ve hated ever since that we missed the chance not only to show the family everything being done to restore the schoolhouse, but also to hear the stories only he can tell.
If this sounds familiar or you know who this gentleman may be, please let us know. We would truly love the opportunity to sit down with him, hear his memories, and preserve a small piece of Bibb City history. Harley would gladly drive to Fortson to meet him. 🤍Harley Hoad Elizabeth Hoad
