After receiving the audio mail from Louise Taylor's best friend, Clara McClendon, last week.....
I had to go see where Louise spent so many years.
Kennedy, Alabama is in Lamar County on the Mississippi state line. It is a small railroad town where Louise went to high school and taught until she moved to Atlanta in 1968.
The town seemed almost abandoned the day I was there.

Another view of the main intersection.
Kennedy High School sign. The school closed in 1983 and was demolished. The school was constructed the year after Louise's birth.
The old high school gymnasium that is now used for storage.
One of the original school buildings that still remains.
Memorial bench in front of the old school building dedicated to the Class of 1948. The year Louise finished college at Mississippi State College for Women in Columbus, Mississippi and started teaching at the Sunnyside School in the south end of Lamar county.
