Subject: Lupeg's and Doodle Bugs
Hi Joel,
I love your site and have spent hours remembering all these places and
times. You have done a terrific job and have spent countless hours on it,
and it is appreciated.
Looking through it, I didn't see Lupeg's Shoe Salon where I worked in
1971 or The Tailored Shop where Mrs. Myrtle McDonald worked. Mrs.
Flowers from Airport Road, ran and owned those shops and was a
pleasure to work for. And there was no mention of doodle bugs and
their song, "doodle bug, doodle bug, come out tonight, your house is on
fire". I doodled a bunch of bugs from under my grandma Myrtle
Johnson's porch on Short Street in Pee Dee. I just showed my
grandson, Jackson Boney, how to doodle, doodle bugs. Back then we lived
on 3rd Avenue in Pee Dee and I grew up with Mike and Steve Kelly,
Nedra and Terry Pate, Donna and Cathy Frye, Doris and Joyce Kelly,
Sue and Ada Clarke, Bill McIntosh and his brothers, Ronnie and Diane
Wallace (my cousins), the Bowmans, the Bullards, the Brigmans, the
Albrights, the Braddocks, Jimbo Harris, Mike Herring (deceased),
Danny Young (cousin), Wayne Bemis (cousin), Chuck, Pug and Daryl
Woodiwiss (cousins), Bobby, Bruce and Bonnie Oliver, Yvonne and Peachy
Dunn, Glenda Snead and all the Honeytown kids. I'm sure I've left
someone out, I'm sorry. What fun we had playing stick ball and dodge
ball in the streets, only to stop for an occasional car going to John's Pool
room. We walked to Pee Dee School and most of us walked home for
lunch. Occasionally we stopped by John's store to buy a loaf of bread
to take home. We were the Pee Dee Pistons and I sat a many a day on
those red clay hills to watch a game. We were proud to be from Pee
Dee, it was a great place to grow up. My cousin, Ronnie Wallace, went
to Vietnam and when people asked where he was from, he would say,
"Pee Dee, North Carolina", that's being proud!
Thanks again for all your hard work. It was great reminiscing. If
there's anyone from Pee Dee or Honeytown out there, I would love to
hear from you.
Sincerely,
