Lester G. Maddox Sr.

we miss you!

my stepmother is buried at ARLINGTON NEXT TO GOVERNOR MADDOX AND HIS WIFE VIRGINIA IN SANDY SPRINGS.

I wrote a paper on Governor Maddox for my American History class at York U.in Toronto back in 1981. I used the book he wrote as a basis for my paper. The paper put the Governor in a positive light, even though the professor was a leftist, he gave me a favorable mark. As all the notes in this guest book show, Gov. Maddox was a man of impeccable character.

I knew Lester Maddox's son Larry when he was first running for Governor. I got to spend time with the Maddox family and learned how decent, hard working and loving they were. I wish peace for all the children and grandchildren of this great man and his sweet precious wife.

I remember in the mid 1960's visiting my parent's friends Harold "Haldy" and Betty Wilson who lived next door to him somewhere near or on Howell Mill Road. My brother and I have tried to remember how to get to that house to see if the Wilson's are still there but can't...anyone know where Gov Maddox house was around 1967-1969?

I think Lester Maddox was a great man he was a prison reform person he helped me very much I used to live on tumlin st right behind the pickric and went swimming with Larry Maddox at Piedmont park manny years ago

My mother had governor Maddox sign a bible for me when I was small, he came to the Baptist Tabernacle to speak when I was a little girl (I am 50 now). I still have the bible. My parents also would go to the Pickrick after church.
