Bernice Depot Museum and Red Caboose
V and D said that there used to be a train that ran through Bernice. The tracks are long gone now.
The Clubhouse...many parties, reunions, etc. have been held here and is still in use.
First Baptist Church...V and D were married here 45 years ago.
Bernice High School...Home of the Bears
No more teams play here anymore...students are now being bused to the parish school in Farmerville.
After the holidays and on our way back to Lafayette, Dave and Vannie took me through Bernice. Bernice is a small town in Union Parish in the northern part of Louisiana. There are many memories there that mean so much to them. Vannie was born and raised there, and Dave lived there until he was in second grade. Then he moved to Farmerville, the parish seat.
I loved seeing some of the places that are special to them. They mentioned that some of their favorites are gone...Taft's Esso Station (Vannie's Dad) and Martin's Store (Vannie's mom worked there for many years)...but not forgotten.
Memories...special times!
