Recalling Burkesville ST, from father's 8mm home movies

Another statement in favor of the ways things were

Dear Ed,

I almost remember when Burkesville Street looked this way.

My father took some 8mm home movies of people coming out of the Methodist Church on a Sunday morning sometime in the late 40's or early 50's.

He was no doubt waiting in the car to pick up my mother and me to take us to lunch, and fiddling with his new Bell & Howell movie camera.




The street did look very pretty and the church goers were all dressed up and scurrying along.

I liked the old white clapboard church better than the new one built in the 1960's.

Fortunately, the beautiful old stained glass windows from that church were saved and are still in use inside the new church.
