Marsha's Story

I am Marsha Barber. My cousins are Gina Moore, Gaylene & Timmy Barber. Some of my neighbors were Carl, Helen, Nadine and Janastine Lampkin, Elliott and Nedra Steward, Lonnie, Bennie, a girl, Frank and Minnie Boyd, Carolyn Cole, Chris & Tony Adams, Carmen and Tony Sanchez, Glen and Peggy McGhee, Ekis Walls, David and Paulette Hayes, etc. My dad is a minister and my mother in all the social organizations. I was a cheerleader at Central Jr. High school for wrestling like John McDuffy, Gary Harvey, Troy Farley, etc. Some of my cheerleading friends were Debbie Ott, Colleen Carmack. I was Queen at Central. I attended Hawthorne Irving most of my elementary years with Tom South, David Harney and Debbie Palos, attended Franklin when the city redistricted but that was short lived with Lois Bonds and others and was caught up in the Race riots at Rocky trying to walk home after a football game with neighbors Bobbie Collins, Debbie Dorman - Vernon Teagues's cousin, Freddie and Eddie Scott, etc. I bowl as a hobby along with Felisita Talley another school mate. And, we are still bowling but traveling and having big fun. I am in a club called, 50 and Fabulous with Sandy Perry, Gloria Wilson, Sheryl Mallard, Jackie Taylor, Debbie and Carolyn Moore, Janice and JoAnn Edwards and friends from nearby towns of Moline (Sandy Allen) and ...Expand for more
East Moline named Gwenn Arrington who is now dead. Good times - I lived in Neely Hall, SIU - Carbondale campus in Southern, Illinois. My 1st experience of dorm life was being dropped off at the circle drive with $7.50 to wash my clothes. Immediately 5 guys offered to help. Met Sigma men (Andrew Chicago, etc). Roommate named Marge (white) & we became "M&M." Hallmates were 2 black girls with a sheet dividing a 8x10 room=funny. Met Theriot & Karen (Chgo) & still friends today! Experienced a Spring break event in Arkadelphia - where? = yes, Arkadelphia; new to me too! Became Kappa Sweetheart & witnessed 1st "RomanTtoga" party. Bad times -- Was called from a class/lecture by my SS# & told scholarship had run out--I needed $money.... My current age is 57. When I was 12, I thought people my age now would be rich, famous and friends I could stay and visit when on vacation. I pictured travel all over the world!. I was complletely full of hope. Ironically, I have rich & famous "family members" who I visit on holidays! Funny how you can make a wish one way & get it another way.. I now have a placque for 25 years of continuous participation in the national United States Bowling Congress Championship tournaments! Have won a little along the way & been in many states. Been bowling 45 actual years!This is the sport I just love.
