"On The Road With Schelley Brown" Blog is all about me and my family, friends and the things that make up my life here in Minden, Louisiana! Many of the people, places and things in my life are related to "Olivia" my 1937 Buick Special. She is named after the mother of the Waltons T.V. show. She changed my life on April 9th, 2002 and I am forever grateful to her! If you aren't a real car person you can never understand that last statement. It is because of her that I have the 100's of friends that I have now. It is because of her that I created Minden Cruisin For A Cure Wheels Through Time Car Show. It is because of her that I am envolved with Mid America Old Time Automobile Association and Ark-La-Tex Antique & Classic Car Association. So everytime I get behind her wheel a tear or two might roll down my cheek because she changed my world and who would have believed one car could do so much for so many people. In August of 2009 I made a hard decision to sell my beloved "Olivia" it was time for a new chapter in my life and someone that loved her as much as I did wanted to buy her. She changed my life and by selling her she will allow me to fullfill another dream maybe!

I am Schelley Brown Francis. I am the Director of the Dorcheat Historical Association & Museum, Inc. My love of history is put to use in many different organizations. I serve on the board of the Minden Cemetery Association and created the Minden Cemetery Ghost Walk. I live in the Minden Historic Residential District which allowed me to serve as the president of the Minden H.R.D. Assoc. I love old cars they are the ultimate antique. I am a member of several car clubs. In 2004 Minden Cruisin' for a Cure Wheels Through Time Car Show was born, to benefit St. Jude and other non-profit organizations that I am involved with. I am honored to serve as the Jr. Vice President of Mid-American Old Time Automobile Association based in Morrilton, Arkansas. Member and past president of the Ark-La-Tex Antique and Classic Car Assoc. in Shreveport. It has been said about me that if it is old, rusty, buried, won't crank or the paint is peeling off that I must have something to do with it. I love preservation in all aspects. Enjoy my blogs and more important I hope you will support these efforts to preserve our past.
