News For the Week of June 13, 2018

Summer has arrived, even if not on the calendar yet. My little garden, pitiful as it is, could use a nice rain. I hate to water it because it seems it doesn't do as good as a good rain. The bermuda grass has almost taken it over anyway. It is a constant struggle with that stuff.

No news for the past 3 weeks due to my back going out and I didn't really care if any news got submitted or not. Last week my grandson had his tonsils out the morning I write the news and I thought I had to be there, so that took precedence with me too.

Bob and I joined a good number of people at the Bradleyville Alumni Reunion last Saturday night. It was a good time of visiting with classmates and people from other classes. The earliest class represented was by Hi Lambeth who graduated in 1944. The Beta Club offered a nice meal for a donation for their fundraiser.

The late Olin Lee and Pauline Lee were honored and received a plaque and a place on the Bradleyville School Wall of Fame. Olin and Pauline were bus drivers for many years and Olin also drove on many senior trips through the years. Pauline was there with her children and grandchildren to receive the plaque. It was so good to see her.

Also honored and receiving a place on the Wall of Fame was Don Johnson. Don served many years on the school board, and was President of the board for many years. He and his family was there to receive his plaque also. It was good to see them all.

During the weeks that I missed writing, Joe and Paulette Combs celebrated 50 years of marriage, so if you haven't told them congratulations, do it now.

That is all the news I have for now. Everyone be blessed and I will try to do better in the future.
