Congratulations
emp l o y ee o f t h e mon t h
The employee of the month for May is Job’s Way Activity Coordinator Rachelle
Tedesco. Rachelle is an exemplary employee. She is kind, dedicated talented and
energetic. When she came to Kirby she brought all of these talents plus experience in
activities with her. She always has a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone.
She also can play the guitar and sing just like Patsy Cline.
-Cheryl Grimes, Activities Director
Do You Know This Child?
The young boy in 1927 picture is 5 years old. He lived at 1425 Goodbar in midtown
Memphis. He doesn’t look very happy being in a cart pulled by a handsome shaggy
goat – note that he’s holding onto both sides of the cart. Note also his intense stare
at the photographer. Back in the day, roving photographers with their goat carts
were commonly seen in Memphis neighborhoods, looking to take a picture of a
child in the goat cart - a picture that would catch the attention and interest of the
Commercial Appeal editors, putting together the next day’s issue.
Be sure to also take a close look at the back of the picture – note the name and
address of the company that did the professional framing of the photograph. Old
Summer Avenue does not exist today – so you know what took its place?
Do you know that lad in the goat cart is a noted
General Sessions Court Judge? Do you know that he
is the younger brother of the Kirby Pines Librarian,
Betsy French’s? Do you know that he is a resident of
our community?
Morgan Fowler is the child in this photograph.
Judge Fowler was a General Sessions Court Judge
until his retirement from the Bench in 1986. He and
his wife, Betty moved to Kirby Pines in 2013.
Priceless bits of Shelby County history.
