The interior is improved for pleasant customer appreciation. Congratulating chamber members are standing.

Richard Eldred Blalock, part 1

My father, Richard Eldred Blalock, was named for his grandfathers but was called “Dred”, by all and sundry even as his grandfather was. I am the older of his two children, and the nearest they could get to “Dred” for a girl was “Mildred”, my younger brother later being called “Arden”. I had a lot of fun when I was a kid when asked by other youngsters what my father’s real name was. I always answered “Mildred” of course”. Since his initials of R.E. refuted that statement, it should not have carried any weight but kids don’t think very far and I had my laugh.
