Bob, Thanks for posting this picture of our friend, historian, lorist, and genealogist Rita Thompson. She is as happy an adult nowadays as she was when she celebrated this birthday with her Radio Flyer so many years ago, back in the far distant past --- but no one is counting.
Rita has contributed much and is continuing to contribute to the preservation of the heritage of the hill country --- and I'm delighted to see her and her little red wagon here on Itawamba History Review.
