On Friday, Diane Boutwell-Grey, left and Alan Ramsey of Yazoo Restoration, stand behind the box office booth used at the Strand Theater, which her parents, Lula Mae and Cleo Boutwell owned for many years. Ramsey is going to restore the booth to its original state. After Boutwell-Grey rescued the booth during the mid-70s during the Strand’s remodeling, she moved it into her dining room and later to the basement of her mother’s home. She said “Today, the Strand, that Grand Old Lady, finally has her belongings about her again. It was a touching moment for me.” She added her parents would have been thrilled.
