Whitehaven ... small world
« Reply #15 on: February 01, 2010, 01:56:17 PM »
My wife's family all grew up in Whitehaven.  Did you know Sonny (my Father-in-law), Betty or Mark Howell?  They grew up on Hoyt Wooten's place.  Their Father, Smith Howell (my wife's Grandfather), was Mr. Wooten's foreman/boy-friday.  Wouldn't that be a small world if you all knew each other.

P.S. You probably know this already, but Whitehaven isn't what it used to be any more.

No, I don't recall those names. Tommy and I went to Hillcrest and the Wootens were Whitehaven HS people.
But I am sure that my father (who managed the Auto-Lec store in Whitehaven Plaza about 1/4 mile from Graceland) knew them, and we have mutual friends.
We lived on Rosebanks, right down the street from Dick Hackett.

Yes, Whitehaven is now known as BHZ, home to a bunch of rappers and hoods, and the old Whitehaven Plaza is mostly razed. I left there in 1976.
