Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey If you have ever driven on Interstate 20 through Shreveport, Louisiana, you may have noticed a building just north of the highway that looks very much like an old railroad station.

Remembering Our Heroes: The Brave Journey of U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Erskin Leon Hulsey

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey On this Memorial Day, I want to take a moment to honor my uncle, U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Erskin Leon Hulsey. He was shot down during a bomber mission over Germany, and his remains were never recovered. According to a letter from the Adjutant General of the United States Army, Leon (as he was known to family) was piloting a B-26 Marauder medium bomber on a raid targeting a German factory complex on December 6, 1944. At approximately 3:30 PM, the plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire and crashed near the German town of Düren.

Prosperity in Bunkie appears to depend on which side of the Union Pacific Railroad one is on. If you're on the west side, you are still hanging on by a thread; if you are on the east side of the tracks, you find yourself in a literal ghost town. This area is marked by an endless row of failed businesses and abandoned buildings. Unfortunately, the business district is gone and will likely never return.

Lost Landmarks: The Heartbreaking Demise of Gibson's in Vernon - My Childhood Memories

Image
Photos and Story by: Ken Hulsey It’s interesting how certain places from our past stick in our memory. Recently, I have been reminiscing about my time in the northern Texas farming town of Vernon from 1974 to 1978. One landmark that stands out in my mind is the Gibson's department store located just off the Highway 287 frontage road. Like many retail and five-and-dime stores of its time (pre-Walmart and Target for you younger folks), Gibson's offered a little bit of everything—clothes, hardware, household goods, and toys.
