Business Directory in the Columbus City Directories that I have access to. Gregg knew that a tavern named Harold’s existed in the Columbus of his childhood.
I checked the street guide and Harold’s is indeed listed in that guide.
It appears that the listing in this list was a paid list and not all Businesses of that type were listed!

"Early 1952 through Maybe 1955"
Bixler Lumber Company was located at 1350 Jackson Street. My brother worked part-time and myself at times unloading and stacking lumber from railroad cars (summer months) into Bixler warehouses. Mother worked at Bixler's as an accountant for maybe 2 to 3 years. Bixler was located directly behind the Coke Cola Plant and as I remember the railroad track went parallel to the side of the Coke plant back into the Bixler yard and on down into the Jackson Street areas.
Tom Bixler was the owners name and he also built several houses in Columbus during the 1950s.

"J.C. Gosnell Died In Texas Sunday July 9, 2006"
J.C. was a good friend to many people during and since his Columbus High School days. He played basketball for coach Bill Stearman, and the team mates are listed in this Historical Site under Columbus High School Basketball in the fifties.
J. C. was among the Bulldog team that played the last season game in the old Pearl Street Gym during the 1953-1954 season. After that season the Bulldogs moved to the new gym. That season's record was 21 wins and 6 loses. He played guard for the Columbus Bulldogs and was a great team player, that is for sure.
For more details go to Richard's posting today under obituaries.

My sympathies are extended to J.C. 's family. It was always a pleasure to watch him play basketball in the " Old Cracker Barrell" . I always wondered where he had moved to and I know that Texas has lost a great resident !! Rest in Peace J.C. ....and if there is a basketball goal in Heaven you will be right under it along with Marge and Bill Stearman... With the deepest condolences..Margo Class of '55

I am interested in obtaining pictorial directories for the First Baptist Church which was located at 625 Franklin Street during the '50's and early 60's as I was a member. I believe the first one was published in 1955 the year we added the Sunday School addition. Please keep an eye for them and let me know. Blessings Margo

Reference post # 137, page 10, in the 50s section, I questioned the identity of the very short man in the city administration photo. 1951. While in town, visiting with Sharon Talkington Renner, she also knew this gentleman, agreed that he was in Lions Club with our dads, and she thought his name was 'Howard.' A search at the library, in a city directory of 1950, I believe, wella, the answer. Sharon said 'Howard,' I thought 'Mac,' and I believe this puzzle is solved-------------Building Inspector, Howard McKenney. Ah, to solve and answer the questions. My brain is in overdrive! Nanc

"Hambone, Hambone Where You Been ? Around The World and Back Again"The Hambone is a black culture rhythmic of slapping hands; chest, legs and foot heal stomping to a distinct sound. Bo-Diddley introduced later sounds of the modernized Hambone in his music and songs in the 1950s. Songs such as "Hey Bo-Diddley, and Hey Little Girl in the High School Sweater." The Hambone was created by enslaved Africans in North America to communicate in lieu of native African drums. They found ways to make rhythms with tambourines, body music such as hand clapping, body and thigh slapping also called "Pattin Juba." So, you say so what? Well, in Columbus starting around 1953 my brother and a super nice black named Raymond Pennybaker had a summer job to paint all the wooden football bleachers and lockers in the gym. During this period Mr. Pennybaker taught my brother the Hambone. After, that it was history for many Class members from 1953 through 1956. My brother taught me and many of his Class Mates how to Hambone, including black man Tommy Hogue. He said that during lunch periods he and several athletes would gather at the Pearl Street Gym (l1953-1956) and learn and practice the art of Hambone. The best results of this art is if you wear tight blue jeans and have leather healed shoes for the extra beat from the foot. The slapping is performed on the legs and chest areas, using the front and back of the hands. Anyway, many of the students learned to Hambone and on one occasion at a 1954 Columbus High School Convocation (or Convo) at the Pearl Street Gym my brother and Tommy Hogue demonstrated the art of Hambone. The local paper (The Evening Republican) at the time placed a picture of both in action, which follows below. History brief of Hambone please go here: worldartswest.org/main/discipline.asp?i=44Background beat and Bo-Diddley go here: www.bobshannon.com/stories/Bo.htmlOf course being my brother taught me, I continued the Hambone through my high school days until 1960. However, I have never stopped the Hambone routine. I guess you could say I have been doing it for over fifty years now. When I lived at Myrtle Beach South Carolina I met the ever famous Bo-Diddley himself. He and his band played at the Beach Club throughout the summer months of 1961 through 1965 or so. One night with a bunch of friends during a break I demonstrated my Hambone to Bo-Diddley and he was surprised that I could do it so well. He then asked me to do a little routine with his guitar backup. So, I did a couple minutes with his band and finally left the stage. It was a fun trip being around Bo-Diddley each time he came to Myrtle Beach. Today, I have been teaching my grandson how to Hambone, but he is only 5 at this time. I hope to be able to get him polished up before I get too far along in age. My son does it also, but doesn't practice enough to keep fresh on the beats. I have had a lot of fun with family and friends over the years with the Hambone skills. Thanks, to Raymond Pennybaker that started it all in Columbus Indiana. Bo-Diddley played on the Ed Sullivan and Tennessee Ernie Ford television shows in the 1950s. I have many more stories of the Hambone, but not in this segment of the Columbus Indiana Historical pages.

Perhaps I should put a disclaimer here at the start! Gregg and I have determined that not all business locations are listed. I generate these lists by using the Classified Business Directory in the Columbus City Directories that I have access to. Gregg knew that a tavern named Harold’s existed in the Columbus of his childhood.
I checked the street guide and Harold’s is indeed listed in that guide.
It appears that the listing in this list was a paid list and not all Businesses of that type were listed!

Columbus and Korean War-- Camp Atterbury/Bakalar Air Force Base 1950 through 1954This is the time-line from the logs at Camp Atterbury for the period above sited. July 27, 1952- Several sightings of 'flying saucers' in the Columbus Indiana area led the Air Force to set up a reporting station at Atterbury Air Force Base. May 27. 1953- The first Hoosier Prisoner of War (POW) Home ! On May 8 at 10:20 a.m., Atterbury Air Force Base was the scene of a special "Welcome Home" Ceremony. Air Force AlC William A. Hillycord, a native of Columbus, Indiana, arrived here on his last lap of a trip that brought him from a North Korean prison camp. AlC Hillycord was the first Indiana man to be returned home. Oct 11, 1954- Atterbury Air Force Base renamed Bakalar Air Force Base Columbus, Indiana. Reference source: Camp Atterbury Time-line reports 1950 through 1954.

"Columbus Baseball Merchants Team Played Camp Atterbury Soldiers' Teams in the 1952 and 1953 Seasons"
Coach Pete Burns of the Columbus Merchants Baseball team reported in another historical web site, that Columbus lost both games in 1952 and 1953 seasons to the Camp Atterbury Soldiers Team. The scores are shown as follows:
The 1952 Season Results /The 1953 Season Results Columbus 1 Atterbury 13 / Columbus 2 Atterbury 3
Columbus 0 Atterbury 9 / Columbus 4 Atterbury 18
Note: It was said to me that the Camp Atterbury teams had a few Major League players on their teams. Well, I guess that proved to be tougher for the Columbus Merchants to beat them. Bottom-line the troops at Atterbury won 100 % of the time. One game between the two teams had over 1200 people watching the game.
