Ladies and gentlemen, since we’ve gone back to Hillsboro in the 1960s, we’ve stopped in at local auto dealers, gas stations and clothing stores. We’ve even visited the county fair and took in a couple of films at the Colony Theatre and a drive-in movie at Roselawn in Allensburg. I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to get a little hungry. Let’s do a little grocery shopping.

Ladies and gentlemen, most folks would think I’ve led a wooden, repetitive life – nothing to write home about. And perhaps that’s true. After all, I’ve spent most my life hanging out in a barn.

Ladies and gentlemen, now that we’re back in the 1960s, we should probably get some ’60s clothes.

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s go back to the 1960s, a time where if you were wearing a mask, chances are it was either Halloween or you were trying to rob someone.

Ladies and gentlemen, in the 1960s, Ed Bousman had a dream. This dream became a reality when Ed went to his congregation at the Lynchburg Church of Christ one Sunday morning with a challenge for them to go home and ask God for something impossible.

When I was digging through my “history cabinet” this morning, I stumbled onto a list of Hillsboro businesses that were doing business back in 1961. It was given to me by the community’s good friend, Bob Hodson. It might surprise you that there were more than 154 businesses in Hillsboro in 1961.

Ladies and gentlemen, after last week’s offering that detailed when Bernice Brown, my first cousin three times removed, was visited by a pair of masked men at her home near Hoagland, someone reached out to me asking if the intruders who tied the 74-year-old up in the winter of 1965 and left her for two to three days were ever caught.
