On April 18th and 19th, 1998, the Friends of the Samuel May House celebrated Seed Planting Time at the Samuel May House. Using his new digital camera, President Sam Hatcher took these beautiful photos of the exhibits. We didn't have very many visitors, but we had a good time, anyway. Maybe we will have more next year, when the word gets around. Mabel Lineberger and David Hereford put a lot of work into these displays. Good work, friends!!! |

Oops!! There's one photo in my collection which I forgot to show you. Here it is. It's a photo of the Dish, Basket and Milk Pitcher Display in the May House Dining Room. For a larger image, click here. Most of these items were provided by Friends member Mabel Rowe Lineberger and her mother, Grace Rowe. The Antique Coffee Grinder was provided by Jean Burke, another long-time member of the Friends. Thanks for sharing it with us, Jean!! This project was a good idea, despite the fact that so few people attended it. I urge all those who visit this page to compliment our members on their work and make their own contribution next year. |
