I lived in oak grove from 78-88, went to oak grove grade school..i moved there when i was about 7 years old. It was a great place to grow up. Me and my friends would ride our bikes everywhere. We would hang out at the conveient stores, dropping quarter after quarter in the latest video games(mostly at buy-rite)..which was also the seediest part of town in my memories..whenever i am out and about i always try and drive through Oak Grove...maybe ill move back someday !!

01/30/12--17:22: Comment on Where have you gone, Allison LaRue? by Diane Bigbee (chan 1869102)

Goodness, I haven't checked this web site in quite a while and delighted that you responded. I would love to hear about your TV series and how you ended up in Florida. I will try to answer you questions. I have no clue about the StyleMasters, but I remember them well. Shortly after you saw Emery in California, he closed the studio and he and Tarky and The Rhythm Masters (the group of boys you referred to) moved to LA. The boys were all still in high School at the time. They played Dixieland music and tap danced. They were extremely entertaining. They did a stint in Tahoe and several guest shots on TV variety shows, but never really took of. Several went on to college, etc. and the group broke up. Emery and Tarky stayed in California, eventually divorced. Both remaried. Emery passed away 10 or more years ago, his wife Diane is still in Calif. Tarky now widowed again, recently moved to Portland where their son Emery Clay III also lives. Sorry to say I am not in touch. I married in 66 and we have 2 sons, 5 grandkids and we live in Milwaukie, OR. I had a dance studio for about 30 years and retired a few years ago. I was burnt out and so were my knees. Also got involved with starting the Oregon Dance and Drill teams state competitions. Annie Truax Ellett (a kid at Emery's studio) was/is still involved with dance teams after 40 years. I see she and Evie Mason (also from studio) on a regular basis. Don't know if you remember them, as they were probably 10 years younger than you. My email is dlbigbee@comcast.net. It would be fun to stay in touch with you. Diane

That's wonderful- My family also has many of those same memories. Do you know where the Red Lion city center was located and what building it is currently? I know the name has changed, but we would also frequent that place

My father Wes Harris was born in Oak Grove in 1907. His parents, George and Ellen Bloom Harris, lived there for many years as did my great grandparents Fred and Mary Colosky Harris and her brother Joseph who was a retired Michigan politician. Are there and books or collections of articles on Oak Grove that I can buy or read online? Thanks, Sue
