Prattville Dragoon Tyrone Crowley continues his stalwart service to the Cause as a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 by volunteering his time at the library at Confederate Memorial Park in Marbury AL. Tyrone was at the library on Saturday May 28th and despite a bit of rain in the
morning, about 20 visitors stopped by the park's library, including a group of McGalliards
who were there for a family reunion. Library Chairman John
Land is implementing improvements to the library including signs, labels, and an ongoing
reorganization of the stacks. Tyrone noted the copy machine is used less these days as visitors interested in a
particular book or page in a book simply takes a picture of it with
camera or phone, to be studied or printed out later on. One lady stopped by with her son who was on his way from Utah to Auburn
to pursue a Ph D in Biology) took pictures of the title pages of about ten
books that he and she found of interest and plan to borrow
from their local library or buy. A Canadian
Air Force Colonel who had just graduated from Air War College at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery and his wife also stopped by to study the collection. These folks appreciated the historical significance of the Confederate Memorial Park and enjoyed the library and other facilities at this wonderful Alabama state treasure.
