100 Years Ago
Jim Wingard saw this notice in the paper last week; 100 years ago (bottom of picture below) Ruston had a YMCA that gave out prizes for the best gardens in town. I can't image anyone beating out the old Garrison home and the former extensive gardens that Etta cultivated. But they only took second place that year.

Funny how the women did the hard work in the gardens but the men got the credit.
It would be great if the site had a fitness center. Good things will come to Ruston. It just takes time.
