In the early years of The Logan Journal, we ran a series of memories of Thanksgivings and Christmases Past in Logan County. Somehow, we let that slide, but we would like to revisit it again in 2024.
The LoJo came into existence on Feb. 1, 2009. Almost two years later, Thanksgiving Week 2010, we ran a collection of memories which had been submitted by Bob Owen, James Henry Duncan, Sue Williams Spurlock, Jo Bentley Reece, Marie Foley, Mary Lucy Franklin, Kaye Simmons, Clay White, Patricia Harbison Mooneyhan, Ann Piper Pember and Jeannie Leedom Bowles.
Since every article which has ever appeared on The LoJo is still online on the site, you can read those memories from 14 years ago at http://www.theloganjournal.com/Stories.aspx?Article=features10&Search=Thanksgiving.
The next year we featured longer submissions. Two of them were combined under one headline. They were by Andy Mac Rector and that same Henry Duncan. Read it at http://www.theloganjournal.com/Stories.aspx?Article=guests70&Search=Thanksgiving .
Additionally, multi-media journalist Fadocia Annette Nole Hall wrote a touching memory at http://www.theloganjournal.com/Stories.aspx?Article=guests69&Search=Thanksgiving
If you would like to contribute to the collection of memories this year, please submit them on The Logan Journal’s Facebook page or email your submission to jimturner@loganjournal.com by Wednesday, Nov, 27. A picture from a Thanksgiving in the past would be welcome but not necessary.,
