Photos at the Pool

The first of these photographs are used with the courtesy of Dorothy Paige Howell. Her Mom, Jessie Brown Paige, was the Girl Scout leader in Pacolet Mills for several years and took many of these photos of girl scout and other activities at the pool. The photos were probably made about 1955 or 1956.

This is the boys swim team around 1958. Their coach, Perry "Bud" Teaster - my first cousin - is on the right end of the second row.



This is thought to be a photo taken during the opening ceremonies for the pool. The names of the folks in the pool are not known.
