User talk:Markrory

I was born in 1955 and raised in White Castle, Louisiana, so one night when I was visiting in December 2005 and surfing the Internet I came accross Wikipedia and added the information I knew about White Castle.

My hopes were once the article got started by stating what I knew others would add more about the history of White Castle. I don't know how much is aceptable so I haven't added any more though I am glad to see a few other people have. There is other information about the Catholic Church, the original that burned and the new one on Bowie street, the exact date the town was incroporated, which I don't know at this time. The private school that is now closed, Our Lady of Prompt Succor, the list of mayors from original to present day, nicknames of areas of town, among other things.
