Correction: Submitted by
Jim Hall II. The child in the middle of
the front row is not Tubby's son. I
think he is Oakey's nephew according to
my dad. My dad is Tubby's son! I have an
original of that picture. The third kid on the front row is
Tubby's nephew. His name is
Allen Croft, the son of
Jerry & Thelma Croft. I just thought I
would let you know that so you could correct it. My dad said that his name
was printed below the picture on a calendar from a bank in Beckley, so that
is probably were the mistake came from. But in honor of my uncle
Jerry, It would be nice to see it
corrected. Thank's" Jim Hall II
Addition: I know
who 2 of the players are since they are my cousins ,standing by
Okie Mills & between
Frank Bolash is my cousin John Paul
Blankenship, this is on the top row he's the 6th player
John lives in Mc Arthur. His brother
Derwood Blankenship{RED],stooping on the
2nd row beside Cotton White behind 3rd
young boy sitting on the ground.
