Last week my uncle forwarded me a news clipping from The Oakdale Journal dated March 25, 1948 he thought I would find interesting. (I did!) Oakdale is a town 25 miles north of Kinder, the town I grew up in. It is the largest town in Allen Parish with a population of about 7,700 today. I'm not sure what it had in population back in 1948. I enjoyed reading this newspaper clipping:
Doesn't reading that transport you back to "Mayberry" and to a much simpler time? "Little Ronnie Sonnier" is my Dad, and I'm sure glad that he recuperated from his bout with the measles!
