I have several old family photos I have no idea who they are
Nikki Jaffe Crawford

My sister and brother in law were in the Hear and Now Singers. I will forward this to them.
Samford “Here & Now Singers”– Front & center (with the beard) is Bob Burroughs, the director. He was a music professor at Samford.
Hear and Now from family member:

In reference to File Number Q46177:
I was a member of the Hear & Now Singers. I believe this was the 1975-76 year, so the picture would have been taken in 1975. As I recall, we were at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
The people in the photo are:
Front row: Walter Draughon (trumpet), Jim Ailor (trombone), Gregg Sewell (student assistant), Patti McConnell (singer), Bob Burroughs (director), Emily Hayes Albright (singer), Randy Wright (keyboards), Tom Albright (singer), Diane Lollar Ailor (sales rep)
Back row: Ken Kirby (guitar/banjo), David Patton (bass guitar), Glenda Cochran (singer), Mark Schilleci (drums), David Martin (singer), Pat Davis (singer), Garry Hornbuckle (sound tech), Lynn Phillips (public relations), Patty Lane (singer), Randy Moore (singer).
Not pictured: Jerry Taylor (trumpet), Terry Brown (trombone)
(The photographer’s name is Lew Arnold, not Lee Arnold.)

Thanks Kathy!
I thought you might know the guys in the flower bed at Flat Top.
Looking at the picture is interesting. I was trying to figure out where it was. I have a very vague memory of what may have been that house.
My great grandfather Crocker at the time was living in Mt. Olive. They had moved to Ft. Smith Arkansas in the 1880’s from the Flat Rock area, which is near where the old road to Bessie mines hits flat top road. Don’t know too much about the other branches of the family and where they were at during this time. Some were out by Bagley as my great great grandfather had married a Bagley…
So intersting Dennis. I knew your family had deep roots around the Flat Top area.
Yea, we had one of the original land grant allocations on the hill to the left right off of Flat Top road. Right next to the old strip pit. We owned 1280 acres there, with mineral rights. The family lost it in 1930 when my great grandfather was murdered in Mt. Olive. Only 10 million tons of coal taken out of the land!
The Crockers were some of the very first white folk in our part of western Jefferson county.
Omg! This is interesting Dennis!
It would take a higher resolution to ID individuals….the folks that could recognize anyone is thinning out every day.
This is so true. 🙁
I agree. It’s sad but true.
Looks like all boys to me…..I don’t think it was proper back then……to swim together….
Q46177
Front row, to the right of the trombone, in the light shirt: Gregg Sewell
This picture looks like the pool in Oak Park in Montgomery Al.
I thought the same, 1960 and before. there was also a little zoo near it
The children in the picture is supposed to be Avondale Park in Birmingham according to the Alabama Department of Archives and History. No idea what the even was and why they were all dressed. There is a link to the picture at the Archives in the story at: http://alabamapioneers.com/forgotten-photographs-unknown-people-alabama-state-archives/#sthash.bcElUUez.dpbs

THE CHAMPIONS MENTIONED IN THIS POST ARE RELATIVES. IF INTERESTED CONTACT ME AT [email protected] WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM RELATIVES..
enjoy these pics…..my husband’s Grandfather was Ned C. Wallace and his Grandmother was Jennie Howard Wallace .. their daughter Maud Wallace was born in 1889 in Lauderdale Co. She was my husband’s MOM. Maud’s first husband was Ben Rice whom she married about 1912….don’t know what happened to that marriage…I FOUND 2 Ben Rice’s ..1 was killed by a dynamite explosion while building the Wilson Dam……..don’t think she was married to that one at the time., if it was that Ben at all………think they divorced, as Ben married again, and so did Maud…..we were back in Florence in 2002 and 2003.. ..loved it there……I did find out about Jennie back then….wish I could find a picture of her…..have done a lot of background info on my husband’s family…Amazing family on both sides…..P.S. my husband passed away in March of this year….after 66 years of marriage……
