I ran into a neighbor from Bethel today, Corrine Manning Heath. Many of you are familiar with Corrine, Miss Annie Manning-her mom, B.F. Manning , Lenny, and Ellen. I grew up less than a mile from Miss Corrine and her family. Our families were very good friends and often visited.
In fact, Lenny-her son who is my age, was my very first boyfriend. I think we were about 5. I went up to their house to play hide-and-seek with Lenny and his sister Ellen. Well, I decided to hide in the chicken coop. Lenny knew this and latched the door so I couldn't get out. Needless to say, he was never again my boyfriend. LOL
To my surprise today, Miss Corrine told me that Lenny teaches at Virginia Tech. His office was two buildings over from where the shootings took place last year. We are all very glad that he was not involved in the shooting incident!
