My home town, from age 5, attending the Enigma Elementary School. Graduated from the 8th grade with a class roll of about 14.
My student dentist at GRU School of Dentistry (now graduated) has chosen as his practice to serve the citizens of Enigma. Coming from a large, prosperous farm family in Tifton, he said he felt the need to be there. I want to thank you Brian for showing us not only pieces of history, but there is an underlying fact that we all need to put back something into this land and its people. My ancestors in Decatur, Miller, Randolph, and Seminole Counties were subsistance farmers, trying to recover from Reconstruction and the Great Depression. Keep up the good work, Brian.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Judith, and what a wonderful thing your student is doing! That was one of the best things I’ve heard all day, and truly inspiring.
my family was a large Tobacco producing family in Enigma in the 1900’s
