Photo taken June 24, 2001 by Marilyn (Yarber) Morris's son, Brad.  Shelbyville had a lot of rain that spring.
 
What a difference a few years make.  Beverly (Brokering SHS '61) Yarber, Richard Yarber (SHS '59) and his sister Marilyn (Yarber SHS '55) Morris stand on dry concrete in 2005.

A new cement base was put on the crossover a long time ago and that is what has broke away.  With some ingenuity and money, it could be re-cemented and possible repaired just for the aesthetics of it and not drive over it.  Oh well.......it's not my tax dollar talking.  These are our memories.  As with all things, change is inevitable.
