Were you in Southern pines in late 50s early1960s (King: theater, high school)

I am trying to find men an women who were little kids in the late, late 1950s or 1960s who lived in Moore county, mainly Southern Pines North Carolina. Come on; there has got to be someone who remembers our lovely little town? Worshams grocery store, the only two Drs in town? Patches Department store and the old Post Office and Library....I need to find some originals out there! My dad was a Highway patrol officer and he and my brother got haircuts at the barber in Aberdeen.
I had to move away but I would have gone to Pinecrest High, class of 1970
Thanks anyone out there. Southern pines is one of the best villages in the South.

My Name is Robert King and I am writing a book about an all black high school that existed in the small northern Virginia town of Front Royal, Virginia between 1959-1966. It so happens that the athletic director and his wife, Annie and McKinley Armstrong taught here in Southern Pines in the mid 50's before accepting a their teaching positions in Front Royal Virginia. Of course then they taught black kids and decided to leave to make more money because of a growing family. They did indicate that most of the children they taught did not come to class during harvest season.

good luck

To Windsweptlonging: I was one of the people that lived in Southern Pines in the '50s, left in the 70's. I went to Pinecrest High School. I was trying to remember Mr. Gibbs, my Glee Club director. Never knew his first name. He was also my choir director at "The Church of Wide Fellowship" Do I ever remember Worshams. You could call in an order, and have it delivered to you. Patches Dept store was the elite store in town. Dr. Hiatt (spelling could be off) was my doctor. Then playing hooky and sitting in the train station. Sunrise Theater, run by Mr. Dutton. Sandwich Shop, and the Clam Box on the way to Aberdeen. What about Aberdeen lake, with the juke box? I could go on and on. Great times!!
