I am R. Sisk. I was raised in Matoaka and went to school there. Had so many friends I haven't seen in a lot of years I think of them often. Jim Wiles, Weldon Stike, Bobby Wallace ,Junior Nicholosonn Joan Cook, Betty Akers and so many more the happiest years of my life was in my home town of Matoaka. I remember the town cop was Mack Shewserberry, deputy Carl Sawyers. Mayor Clif Baily. The Old Busy Bee restaurant where we kids hung out and played the juke box. Ralph Byrd the principal of Matoaka High so many good memories. I lived and raised 5 girls in Washington DC area on the Maryland side. I owned and operated gas stations and auto parts stores for over 40 years there. Been married to the same girl for 53 years. I moved to Myrtle Beach SC to retire and I hate retirement. I write a lot . Last time I was home I drove up to the old school house that burned down one night I remember seeing it burn and I stood out on the hill and looked down town where the bridge went across that old creek that use to sain minos and sell them for 2 cents each to the fishermen. That was a lot of money then, as I looked downtown I thought if only those streets could only talk WOW the stories they could tell. Then I got in my car drove down school house past the house we lived in down the streets of Matoaka and by Matoaka High and around the curb and up Matoaka Moutain and I cried inside as I left my home town of Matoaka, knowing I would never be back. My daddy was a barber, school bus driver and a baptist preacher. Me, I was just one of the boys in town. - R. G. Sisk
