Meet another duo behind PCHGA's success. Geneva LaGrone of Deadwood, the visionary who brought our page to life several years ago and has since posted hundreds of vintage photos, and Pam Morris of Carthage, the researcher who uncovers hidden facts and records obituaries. We're thrilled to hope we have inspired Pam to explore her maternal family's legacy, Mr. Grady Nutt's iconic gas station on W. Panola St. If you have memories of Mr. Nutt's station, please share them with us below! Who remembers the legendary Shorty, who kept the station running smoothly? We're forever grateful for Geneva and Pam's efforts to preserve our history.
