Camp News
Thanks to Larry Miller For Upkeep
at Dragoon Monuments. If you drive by the Dragoon
Monuments at Fourth and Washington Streets and notice how weed-free the area
is, you can thank Compatriot
Larry Miller. The maintenance of the area within the
perimeter wall that surrounds the monument is up to us, and Larry has
faithfully kept an eye out for weeds this summer, spraying herbicide as needed
to keep the area free of unwanted vegetation.
Thanks to Alan Parker For Upkeep
at I-65 Flag Site. Larry Spears, Chairman of
the I-65 Flag Committee, wishes to thank Compatriot Alan Parker of the
Henry C Semple Camp 2002 for his assistance with weed control at the I-65 Flag
site. Alan is a professional landscaper
so provides valuable help and advice to the Committee, of which he also is a
member.
Mrs. Sue Spears Also Offers Valuable Assistance To Flag
Committee. Mrs. Sue Spears, wife of
I-65 Flag Committee Chairman Larry Spears, also makes a valuable contribution
to the I-65 Flag mission. It was agreed
at the Alabama Division Executive Committee meeting at the Confederate Library
on 24 August that Mrs. Spears has saved the Division hundreds of dollars by
repairing Battle Flags that if not repaired would have to be replaced with new
ones. Each flag costs $500-$600 so any
that can be repaired and re-used save that much money until the flag is beyond
repair and must be replaced. Finding
someone to repair the large flags used at the I-65 site has always been a
challenge, and for now that challenge has been met by the able hands of Mrs.
Spears. Our thanks go out to her.

God's good blessing and all the prayers, I'm improving everyday. Thank
God the pain is less and I'm able to get out of bed with little problem".
