Carol Perkins: Mining for future treasures Previous Column: Families love the beach By Carol Perkins For the last few weeks, I have been going through closets and drawers at my mother's, looking for nothing in particular but uncovering treasures. I found a flimsy dress with holes in the back, tucked inside a bag in the bottom of her mother's chest. "Why have you kept this?" I asked, holding it above my head. It was a perfect example of the styles of the 40s. She replied, "That was my wedding dress." She and my dad, who was not long home after five years in the Pacific during WWII, married at the courthouse in Glasgow. A treasure I had never seen or remembered. Picturing our parents as teenagers or newlyweds sometimes is uncomfortable. We like to think of them as parents and not as fun-loving teens who played the jukebox at local restaurants, smoked cigarettes (it was classy back then), piled in a car with their friends, and went to community gatherings where music shook the hills. We certainly don't picture them dating anyone but each other. While looking through each picture of my mother as a young woman, I wanted to know. She had told me many things, but there was more to learn. I knew about her days at Lindsey Wilson.
