I don't think so. The place has been boarded up for several years now. It would be interesting to go by there and see if any of the rope is still attached to the tree...however, I doubt that, too...
It would almost be worth it to put a new rope swing up and try it just one more time....thanks for the idea.
How many of you attending the Mignon Reunion would show up Sat. afternoon for a photo shoot of the Classic Dye Ditch Swing on Virginia Ave?? Swinging is optional. Please say YES!!
I'd better not try swinging this year the cheer leaders standing beneath might get wet, and not from falling into Shirtee Creek/Dye Ditch. If you can't figure it out just ask Jack he will probably understand.
Waymon looks like the identical twin of our friend Paul Masters when he was that age. I barely remember Waymon, he was that much older than me, but I do remember Paul looking very much like that. You should see us now!
I met Waymon at my uncle's house in Oak Grove,many years ago. I thought the kid was tongue-tied or retarded. He said his name was "WAYMON"..I thought his name was Raymond..never heard of anyone named Waymon. I tried,in vain,to correct him.
HORACE....... YOU CAN BET I UNDERSTAND!! IT WON'T BE ANY DYE DITCH WATER THEY GET SPLASHED WITH.. AND YES DON, YOU GET IT TOGETHER AND YOU CAN BET I'LL BE THERE. I LOVE THE IDEA.
