Fortune St. neighbors lunch honors Nell Roger's 86th birthday



2006-07-12 - Columbia - Photo by Linda Waggener.
RETIRED TEACHER AND A GREAT NEIGHBOR, NELL ROGERS, and I enjoyed lunch Wednesday at the Circle R restaurant operated by another of our Fortune Street neighbors, Eva Rigney. The lunch was in honor of Nell's recent 86th birthday. Nell and I caught up on mutual friends like B.J. Herndon, and remembered her wonderful mother Thelma Phelps. Over vegetables and cornbread we wondered how all the Walker clan is and where they are. I told her I'd recently heard that Pete and Edith's youngest son, Stewart, is moving from Seattle to Atlanta. He works for the Dept. of the Interior in aviation. Vicky and her husband and two children are in Chapel Hill, NC and Hughes is living nearby in Durham, and his son Russ is in Washington, DC. John Walker and his wife are doing well in Frankfort and were recent guests of Ed Waggener at E.P. Waggener and Sons Booksellers in Gradyville. Nell and I decided that our girlfriend's lunch was a fun thing to do and that next time we will invite Fortune Street girlfriend Sandy Janes to join us. And we should include Nell's daughter Sheila, Shawn's mom, who lives in Shepherdsville but comes home to Fortune Street often to see Nell. Before we left the restaurant we visited a moment with Emily Cain Edwards Sargent who works at Walker Real Estate and qualifies as a neighbor because of the location on the corner of Fortune and Burkesville Streets. The Circle R was recently sold by long-time owner J.D. Harper to Eva and David Rigney. For their story, click here.
