John Cofield's Oxford and Ole Miss: The Park Drive Kids

Published

on

The Cofield boys’ childhood next door neighbors and little sisters, the Goodman girls. Pictured left to right: John, Lynn, Glenn and Kathy. 


When the Goodman girls knew I was in Methodist in bad shape they didn’t call anyone, they didn’t panic, they didn’t waste any time, they just turned on one heel and rushed to my side.
God Bless all the Park Drive kids of Oxford, Mississippi, this Christmas and forever. Bless the memory of what we had there once upon our childhoods.
