Sunday April 26, 2015 Columbus, Mississippi

 I got up in time to have breakfast with some of Gerri's classmates that were leaving today.  I brought coffee and juice back to Gerri in the room.

This used to be the Church of Christ
We went downtown and took picture as requested by Hollis.  Some of the pictures were downtown and some were near the base.












Downtown Columbus, MS




We did find the entrance to the base that gerri remembered using.  We also found a road that skirted the base with the fence and some of the remaining houses partially visible though the woods and brush.

Stephen Lee High School, at least it was in 1965

Welcome to CAFB


This is the entrance to the base that
we couldn't find a few years ago

Remaining base housing

Last meeting with classmates










































After returning to the hotel, Gerri met with some of the ladies from her class in the lobby and swapped stories of high school and the intervening years.

I went geocaching.  I found 6 and didn't find 3 others.







I got back to the hotel around 5.  Gerri repacked some of our clothes and we put all but the bags we needed for the night and in the morning in the car.

Tomorrow we plan to drive to Garrison, Texas.  About a seven hour drive, so we want to get an early start.  That way we will arrive at Herb and JoNell's at a decent hour in the afternoon.
