Wonderful Memories

Check your bookshelves.  As I did.  You may find this wonderful book of memories of Searcy AR.  As I did. 

It was written in 2012 by Patsy Pipkin, a Searcy lady, and Carolyn Boyles, who seems to go from place to place writing these memory books.  She chose Searcy for one and had Patsy Pipkin help her write it. Patsy  was an award-winning author and longtime resident of Searcy and White County.  She was a local newspaper columnist for over 15 years and she and Carolyn Boyles compiled a wonderful collection of photos contributed by many different groups and individuals from White County.  I have not looked it over since 2012 and decided to look at it again.  It is filled with old historic photos of downtown, community, commerce, personalities and folks of leadership.

Patsy passed on in January 2024 after a long life of writing and loving.  She was a personal friend of mine and I join so many others who miss her.

You will love looking through this book again and if you have never seen it, it is available online!

I just bought Searcy (Images of America) by Carolyn Boyles and Patsy Pipkin on eBay for $5.88! It came from Bueford, GA.

Thanks for the reference. I had not heard of the book before.

One can find Ms. Pipin's obituary here.

Don, the price on my old one was $21.99 but she may have given it to me. She gave me credit for helping her!  Now let me know how much you enjoy seeing the old pictures!

The book is $18 on Amazon. I always check eBay for used books. I think you do also.
