I was at the school tonight with my mom, who was one of the ones interviewed. It was a good turn out and very interesting. Mrs. Gindle was there as she was one of the ones interviewed also. Nothing about the buildings that Mary mentioned was discussed. Ronnie Ousley, I remember the Berry’s very well. I also remember the Ousley’s from Molino. Are you one from that family?

One of the video interviews is of Dorothy Gindle Casey, a long time resident of Barrineau Park and Molino. Hopefully she will be at tonight’s event and might be able to answer questions about the buildings on Molino Rd.

We moved to Molino in 1955 and I very well remember going to the house to visit where this switchboard was located. Although we never had a phone, I remember my friends home phone number was 2391. That number belong to the Berry family who are now all deceased.

Great to see the nearly 100 year old switchboard restored and the history of the Molino Telephone Company preserved!
