Whether it’s Miss Mary, or Mr. Jimmy, Aunt Nell, that person is recognizable to a community that is close. Many of them are related. That is the case whenever Elizabeth Greeson talks about her experiences growing up near the Oakdale Mill Village.

The term “too much of a good thing” means that even something that is generally considered to be beneficial can be harmful or undesirable in excess. But too much of a good thing was actually a positive thing for some nominees of the 2025 Mary A. Browning Historic Preservation Award. LaTanya Bowman, Lucille Clauson and Sherry Bundy Royal were all this year’s nominees.
