Snow times to remember!
By Mandy Snell Harris
As I am writing this, the snow is really coming down outside, it is beautiful!
Unfortunately it caused a lot of heartache for many. But for those of us who didn’t have to go anywhere, it was nice and for me brought back many memories.
The 80’s: Times to remember!

How did we ever make it growing up without cell phones and computers ? Answer… Just fine.
Reflecting on family and home – 70’s in Snellville
By Mandy Snell Harris
Before I get started on the ‘rest’ of the 70’s, I would like to apologize to my cousins Burton Slade and Curtis Jones for not listing them in 1970 graduates. My oversight 🙂
The 70’s were a special decade, especially for those of us who were born in the 60’s. (just my personal opinion, haha). However….. WOW!!
I recently went to the Snell family reunion. I always look forward to our reunion, to see who has gotten older (ha, like myself), who has gotten married and of course who has had a baby or babies! I love all of my family and I’m very proud to be a part of it.
For all of you that read my articles every month, first I would like to say, “thank you”. It warms my heart to know you are reading what I have written. Secondly, please continue to do so. LOL. I want to apologize for the interruption of my consecutive years about Snellville. However, I feel I need to write what or how I am feeling at this time.
Hey Everyone ! I left you last month with a poem that my grand-daddy wrote in 1930. I covered some of what Snellville was like during the 1930’s and now I will pick up in the 40’s and move forward.
I have been excited and nervous about this month’s article. Excited: because I was/am very anxious to learn more about ‘Our Town’, Snellville. Nervous: because I don’t want (or didn’t want) to get the dates wrong! I could only imagine the phone calls or FB messages I would get, correcting me. LOL So I decided I would get the decade(s) right and maybe even a year or two.
I have been feeling very nostalgic for the past few weeks. It started when I heard the disheartening news of our beloved friend Jamie Britt. When I learned that Hospice would be at his home…. and then he lost his battle with that awful disease, cancer. It just put things into perspective. During this time I was very thankful for the social forum Facebook, SO many of us kept in contact with each other getting updates on Jamie (Britt).
