Growing up on Rolling Oaks Drive in East Memphis, one Saturday afternoon around the Summer of 1972 or 1973, my friend (Alex Stagoski from the Balmoral area) and I were riding bikes on "Monkey Mountain." A photographer from the Memphis Press Scimitar (the former afternoon newspaper in Memphis) took our pictures riding bikes and got our names and ages. It was published in the newspaper the next day but I lost my copy years ago. Galen A. Smith Sr., Bowling Green, Kentucky www.acriticfromthesouth.blogspot.com
Thanks. I got my calendar this year along with my renewed subscription for "Memphis" magazine from sister and brother-in-law who live in Bartlett. It's the same Christmas gift they give me every year ... but I love it regardless!
