During the game they announced that Lester Maddox had been elected Governor of Georgia.I don't really remember much about the basketball game it was just fun being out at night with my classmates away from the watchful eyes of our parents.
Who knows who won probably not East Newnan Elementary because we lost at everything it seemed.Basketball which there was only a girls team and baseball which most of the older boys played on.We where a poor county school and we didn't even have baseball uniforms not even hats but we played the other schools that did.I heard years later that they did win a game of baseball.
There was only one guy in our Boy Scout troop that had a uniform.If I remember right we where not your regular type of scouts.It did get rowdy at times.
Out of school for 2 weeks back then for Holidays.Week before Thanksgiving a Sunday I was not feeling all that great.I stayed in bed under an electric blanket all day.Waking up I remember shocking Momma.I was broke out with chicken pox.
Of all the bad timing sick when out of school.Back at school I was teased because another classmate had also caught the chicken pox.Since we two where the only ones who had it everyone even the teacher Mr.Camp teased me and that little pretty girl saying it must have been no consequence.
Honest it was.Just one of those things that happens in life.Believe me.
