did you ever make it to the hourly Turkey drop from the roof of Gibson's Discount Center on Thanksgivings ? ... Every hour they would drop a live turkey for the crowd to catch - it was fun and hilarious to watch

It's possible then. I think maybe she did overlap into the early 70s. She taught 10th grade English.

Gibsons. Young kids, Anyone under 35, will never hear of the great choices before Wal Mart. TG&Y, Roses, Newberrys and the Green Stamp Store.
Ahhh ..... Gibson?s. I wonder if the other Gibson?s had an annual scavenger hunt like the one, in Greenwood, my old hometown. It was the early 80s I think, and they would hide small pieces of colorful poster board throughout the store, with names of prizes written on them. If you found any, you won whatever was written on it.
A friend and I went one year, and arrived early enough to be near the doors when they opened. Ha! Problem was, by then, it was a huge mob behind us and once they did open my feet never touched the ground until I was at least 20 feet inside the store. But, hey, I won a nice food processor. They were a fairly new kitchen appliance in those days.
BYW, Greenwood had a Pasquale?s too, next to the movie theater.
I did not know they still existed. The one that was in Greenwood closed long before I left in the 90s. Still miss their open face beef sandwiches, smothered in gravy, on those egg bread buns. I can still recall the aroma as you walked through the door. (Forgive me. Haven?t had dinner yet.)
Which makes me think. Does anyone remember the name of a Columbus restaurant owned by Greeks on Hwy 82 east? We ate there several times in the late 60s. Their food was excellent. I believe the name was two initials.
Since we didn't have them on the coast whenever we had a swim meet in Laurel or Columbus dad would take us there after the meet. Now that was a treat.
