Hey Bob- I found this site a month or so back & subscribed- saw a bunch of your Knoxville World's Fair pics, like the Sunsphere being built, etc- really cool. I put you on as a friend to try to get in touch w/you & didn't know how to send messages at the time- still really don't, but hopefully this will work... Anyway, I'm looking for a nice overview (aerial shot) of the entire area during the fair & am having trouble coming up w/one. There is an incredible one at 1st TN bank on Cumberland Ave that's ~4' X 6'. I can't figure out how to go about getting a print of it, though. So if I can't come up w/something, then I guess I'll have to keep looking for a similar one. Do you have pics like these, or possibly any ideas on how to find one maybe...? thanks a lot, Robby

Hey there! Now that I know how to use the message function, I thought I'd drop you a line. I'm very happy to know Roy's Diner will be opening again soon. Sad to say, when I was growing up in ChooChoo town, we never went to cool places:( We usually went to cafeterias downtown like the S & W, The Home Plate (on the corner of 7th and Cherry. I think a Soup Kitchen is there now.), or the one on the 4th floor of Millers. Now I'm gonna go *way* out on a limb and make a guess where you live. You made a comment about having a house on Claire Street, plus I'm assuming you're pretty close to Roy's. Therefore I'm making a SWEG (scientific wild eyed guess) and guess you live in Lakeview, GA. If so, you're only about a mile or so from where I spent my high school years on S. Clayton Ave. in East Ridge:) I'm no longer living in Chattanooga, but I'm not that far away. My wife and 5 cats and I live out in the country from Loudon. We're hoping to get down to Roy's some time this summer. BTW, my email addy is Roustabout@starband.net if you'd like to drop me a line. Hope to hear from you soon! Bob Reynolds (BabyBoomerBob)
