SO FAR LAST WEEK’S 1956 photo (below) with the pigs has drawn two responses. Both Deanne Gibson Roles and Carolyn Robison pegged county agent Paul Gibson in the center of the photo and his assistant, Allman Brawley, behind him. Roles, who is the daughter of Paul Gibson, said she figures it’s a 4-H photo. Robison, who worked in the Extension Office for Ken Perry, who took Gibson’s place as county agent, said others could be agents from other counties or visiting specialists from N.C. State University, who might have been judging the hogs. Anyone with additional information, especially where the picture might have been taken, is asked to call us at 586-2611.
