Hello…Thanks for posting all the Great Pictures of Oakdale.They bring back so many Good memories to me. Many happy years of my life was playing there in Oakdale. I loved watching the trains come in at night. When my Grandmother “Cressie Burris” and Mother “Ruth Salmons” would take us the the YMCA to get ice cream. She was a Good and Loving Grandmother and I was Blessed with the Sweetest Mother on Earth. I think God for her every day. My Grandfather was Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Oakdale. “Dr. David Burris” So many good times.
Thanks again for the great memories. Take care and God Bless !
