This is the second installation of photos and memorabilia from another era

A week or so ago, we received an email from a native Columbian. The email writer moved away decades ago, but continued to remain a Columbian, at heart. In the email, the writer mentioned a collection of “old Columbia pictures” and volunteered to share recollections of growing up in Columbia “a long time ago.”

We met with the octogenarian several days ago and for more than two hours, the email writer shared fond remembrances of growing up in the town by the river.

This is the second installation of the writer’s collection of photographs and memorabilia which were provided to Columbia news, views & reviews. A written version of the monologue will be coming.
