We moved from Haleyville to Dothan in the spring of 1987. We rented this house in Grimes community near the Dothan airport. It was located at 401 Lingo Road at the end of the street. We only had one neighbor close by. The house belonged to a lady who had to move to Baptist Village assisted living. The house was well maintained (I think we were the first renters) and had a big orchard in the back with lots of pecan trees, which we enjoyed. We were not too far from Elba and enjoyed going to the farm on week-ends.

The landscaping was beautiful with lots of blooming shrubs. Here I am pictured with James in the front yard.

We were living here when our calico persian cat disappeared one night. Pupoki (Poki for short) liked to sleep on top of our car in the carport. We think she was "catnapped" since the carport was near the street and people were always turning around in our driveway at the end of the street. She was a beautiful cat and we spent about a week driving around looking for her. She came from Hawaii as a kitten and a neighbor in NC gave her to us when they had to move. They told us that Pupoki meant "cat" in Hawaiian.
