SocietyCity Personals Garrett Bailey attends football camp Garrett Bailey, son of Terri and Tommy Garrison of Holly Springs and Bruce and Tonya Bailey of Booneville, recently attended Peyton and Eli Manning’s quarterback camp in Louisiana. Hank Wheeler of Newnan, Ga., was the weekend guest of Mary Clay and Gene Brooks and children, Caitlyn and Grady. While he was here, he attended a softball tournament in New Albany to watch Caitlyn play. I spent Monday afternoon and into the night at Baptist DeSoto Hospital with my momma, Constance Ann Lanier and her daughter, Sissy. You never realize how draining it is sitting with someone who is sick until it happens. Compassion is something I learned during my Monday visit, that some nurses have and some do not. Monday, Constance Ann was blessed with an angel for a nurse. When we got up there and the nurse came in, Sissy told us she was from Potts Camp. She was cute as a bug and introduced herself -- Bobbie Ash. She spoke to all of us in laymen’s terms, so we could understand what was going on. She started working on a transfer from DeSoto to Baptist East late in the afternoon. She stayed long past her shift to make sure that Constance Ann was transported from one hospital to another, something she did not have to do. She was so compassionate and really cared for Constance Ann above and beyond. Nurses like Bobbie Ash should be commended. She was a gift that long afternoon - a breath of fresh air in an otherwise dreary setting. Thank you, Bobbie, for your kind soul in helping our friends deal with their situation. You are an angel!

Museuming The move...volunteers come from all over to help The move at the Marshall County Historical Museum is progressing and is a great adventure. It seems to be a paradox as I am still just thrilled over the prospect of the incredible museum-to-be and at the same time I am overwhelmed at all the work. One trailer is empty, an accomplishment! I prayed to the Lord to please send me some help and a gentleman walked in and said, “Could you use 20 teenagers on Monday?” (Thank you, Lord!) They are on a summer mission trip and instead of building a church, they want to help the community so they were looking for a project. Last week, someone got stuck in the beautiful new elevator. In the elevator is a ‘help’ phone which is connected to the police station. We were panic stricken. All of a sudden, the police, escorted by an ambulance, sirens and lots of noise appeared on the scene, but the person was freed in a few minutes. The elevator was fixed immediately and they say that it won’t do that again. At the museum, we have had volunteers, paid movers, government workers and prisoners. Not everybody has been from here. We had three teenagers from Chicago and those today came with the local Church of Christ and from Jackson (Siwell Road). Consequently, we are getting it done but it might not be finished until next April. The building needs to be about three times as large as it is. However, when we get it finished, this museum will be one of the best around as we have so many treasures, all from here, except one, which was a carpetbag I bought at a flea market as I had never seen one before. Notice: To the person who took the 1928 Model T Ford windshield – bring it back. We need it for a display. Just slide it under the gate. |
