Letter: Fairplay Store and Creed Lacy

By Jamie Isabelle

Opening Columbia Magazine this morning has flooded my eye with so many memories. I wasn't old enough to remember when Mr. Rosenbaum owned the store. I do remember mom and dad talking about him. I came around after Amon Spoon took over.

Amon and I are cousins. So, when Mr. Watson talked about all the older ones that hung out at the store, Mackie Spoon was my grandpa. I remember going to the store and all the men would be sitting in the back. My dad, Junior Spoon, would go to the store and hang out too during the day and it was a treat getting off the bus in the afternoon and he would have gotten me a coke and a candy bar that day.



Speaking of more great memories, was getting off the bus. Creed Lacy in the other article today was my bus driver for 10 years while we lived in Fairplay. No matter where I saw him, after that, he was always ready to pick at me. So many great memories this morning.

Wish we could go back to a few of those good old days, instead of all the hustle and bustle.
