LETTER from Ann Heskamp Curtis Comments on vexing car story, identity of cat Wants to see Town Branch area, Jamestown St. photos I loved your story and photo of the BMW Isetta...I don't remember that you had that funny little car. Most of all I enjoyed seeing the picture of the old Beard house across the street from your home. And, I hope that wasn't one of the many cats that we "owned" over the years! Got any more photos of the way Jamestown Street used to look? I'd pay good money for them. Especially the Town Branch at the foot of Jamestown Hill (yes, I'm still talking about this!) I wish I had photos of the creek wall, summer house and branch...but for some reason, we don't seem to have any. We have some home movies, but they're more of the lawn, with just an instant of me cavorting on the bridge before the film ran out. I do have one photo of my grandfather and his wife in front of their house, but it doesn't show the part I want to see. I have wondered if Doctor Ron Rogers might have some photos of Mary Dee Barger's place down at the foot of the hill...with the spring house, weeping willow and pretty lawn. I hope some readers of the magazine can help. Best regards, Ann Heskamp Curtis Editor's note: Thanks for the comments about the story. I'm not sure if it was a Heskamp, Miller, Lowe, Triplett, Beard, Cundiff, Conover, or Waggener cat, or just a freeloader in the Jamestown Hill area that we hit that day. If it was your cat, that would have been real bad, and I apologize. We would very much like to see photos of the area at the Foot of Jamestown Hill, too. It was a very beautiful place. The little bridge over the little creek has concrete railings which were a perfect place to finish a Dairy Queen purchase or for a rest before the arduous ascent up the mountain. (Jamestown was much, much steeper then. Higher too, I believe. Mrs. Sandusky's home beyond the creek was always one of the prettiest sights in Columbia. There was a rock wall, about three feet high, along the creek and there was a small summer house on the creek, near the back of the yard. There was a drive in front of the house, which encircled one of the most beautiful flower gardens in Columbia. I hope some of our readers can fossick around in attics and old bureaus and come up with some pictures from that magic time in Columbia. Thanks, Ann, for reminding us of those days. -ED Address comments and information on photo whereabouts to ed@columbiamagazine.com or, contact Ann Curtis directly at: Anntikk@aol.com This story was posted on 2005-07-13 12:48:57
