fyi, the Swimmimg thing I thught was in lakeland, was the 77' Junior Olymipics Swim Invitational in Bartow. Francis Purvis.
Boycotted Olympics and I discovered GIRLS... LOL

Ok... enough blogging....

Hey!
I went to high school with some Purvis'.
As my children and hubster say...DUH! You went to school or know everyone. <smile>
Paula Purvis. I was in the class of 75.
I can see why Bartow hotels were filled up...it's smaller than Lakeland. Back then we only had a handful of hotels/motels. A little bigger now but still a small town atmosphere.
Ahhhhhhhh, those were the days.
Thanks for the update! Wouldn't it be something, small world, if the Purvis I know is your family?
take care,
Donna
