Mary Alice Wellons married Jarrett Denton Dixon of Anderson and had three boys. The first picture above shows Jay, Lee and Todd with their mom and with their dad at their still relatively new house at 2833 Alexandria Pike. That from porch was a major play area and was like a covered bullpen area for aspiring pitchers. And how about that Buick in the driveway. It eventually got replaced by a copper colored ‘57 Chevy station wagon and a Corvair.
The family photo was taken about 1969. All of us would have been at Highland for that one year. Jay was a senior, I was a freshman and Todd would have been in 7th grade.
The bottom picture is of the three of us with mom and little Elliot at Randy and Deanna’s wedding at Table Rock. Mom was unfortunately acting a little strange, but we didn’t realize it was really a symptom of the dementia that was just starting to affect her. Memory loss is sometimes the least of your worries if you have Alzheimer’s disease. We were able to enjoy the occasion.
