The Medley


At The Time Of Writing This Blog, The Entire State Of Illinois Is Under A Severe Winter Storm Watch. Even Though I Am Skeptical Of Forecasters, I Do Know It's Not A Beautiful Day In The Park Today.
It's Been Predicted, That This Area Could Get More Than A Foot Of Snow Tonight. We Have Already Received More Than An Inch Of Ice. A Lot Of Homes Are Without Power Right Now. I Pray This Does Not Happen Here. I Will Pray For Those Who Don't Have Power.
I Guess Tonight Is Probably Better Than Ever To Make My Announcement Of The New Blog Space I Have Created. My Danville High School Yearbook Collection Called The "Medley".
I Have Made Two Entries. The Site Is Under Construction. My Cousin Kim Will Help Me Create A Header For This New Blog Site. In The Meantime, I Am Experiementing With Colors, Fonts, Templates, Etc.
In Previous Blogs, I Have Mentioned A Few Times That I Collect Danville High School Yearbooks. The First Book Was Published In 1904.
It All Began When My Mother One Day Handed Me Three Yearbooks, 1929, 1930 & 1931. In One Of These Books My Grandfather's Photo Was Inside. I Got The Bug From Then On. For The Past 25 Years Or Longer, I Have Been Collecting These Books. Two Years Were Giving Me Fits. They Were 1909 & 1911. I Found The 1911 A Couple Years Ago, And Just Recently Found The 1909. I Have Books Starting In 1904 And Continuing To 1993. They Begin Staggering From There. A Few Years Here And There. However, They Are Obtainable Through Danville High School, At Their Cost. I Have Yet To Purchase Any From DHS. What I Do Know Is, The More Recent Copies They Have, The More Expensive They Are. I Have Purchased Most All Of Mine At Rummage Sales, Auctions, Or EBay.
I Will However, Contact The School And See What Years They Have In Stock. If They Are Reasonable, I Will Get Them. If Not, I Will Continue Buying Like I Have Over All Of These Years.
Now Keep In Mind It's Still Under Construction. You Can Though, Take A Sneak Peek. Not Sure How Long It Will Take Me To Enter In The Most Useful Information. One Thing I Do Know. A Lot Of History Are In Those Pages. I Must Also Mention My Most Prized Books In This Collection Are The 1944 That Has Dick Van Dyke. It Is Autographed By Mr Van Dyke. The 1950 Which Has His Brother Jerry. This Book Is Autographed As Well.
Not To Mention Years With My Grandfather, My Mother And Myself.
I Hope You Enjoy Reading.
