Found you site last week while searching for architectural significant buildings. This store front caught my eye because I first saw it after retiring to my childhood home of Helena, GA. It confused me because the name of my father’s business was Telfair Utilities Service Company in Helena, not McRae. A few months ago one of my borthers gave me the answer. Lewis Joyner had been an employee of my father, and after my father had closed his business in Helena to take a civil service job, Lewis ask my father if he could use the name for a business in McRae. I related the story to my wife Gail that night, and the next morning Gail read the OB for Lewis’s wife, Dot.
Your site is a great way of bring out many childhood memories and rekinkling old frindship. How may I obtain Email addresses of some other commenters?
