They met for dinner at JB’s in Holly Springs. Lamar Day called last week and said he graduated 70 years ago the last of April. Then on May 11, 1943, he was sworn into the United States Army, serving in North Africa, Italy and France. This brings up the graduation for this year. Weather permitting, graduation exercises will be held on Saturday, May 18, at the Oakley Sportsplex, starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 16, was a very exciting day at the Oakley Sportsplex when Potts Camp hosted their first official track meet, the MHSAA division playoffs. Complete story will be in the sports section. Mike Bush is the coach. Congratulations to Ray and Carol (Ash) Minor on their wedding last Saturday at Spring Hill Baptist Church.

Plans have been finalized for the homecoming and dedication celebration at Winborn United Methodist Church, 1470 Hwy. 178, approximately one and one-half miles east of Potts Camp on Sunday, April 28.

Following the meal, gospel singers “The New Destiny” will perform. Everyone is invited to attend. At the Easter service at Winborn UMC, there were 97 congregants for the service and 75 signed their guest book at the breakfast that followed. They had a wonderful day. Sympathy is extended to the family of Mary Ann (Todd) Fleckinger of Chrestview Hills, Ky. who passed away Sunday afternoon, April 21. Mary Ann was a graduate of Potts Camp High School in 1951. Her brothers were the late Kenneth and D.L. Todd of the Winborn community. At the present time I am working on gathering information from the old Boys Camp (Camp Courage) that was also known as a training camp for the All American Red Heads Basketball team, located on the Potts Camp Road near the CCC Road. If anyone has information about either that they would like to share, please give me a call. Something interesting happened in town on Saturday afternoon when we had a special visitor (or should I say visitors). My sister, Nancy Green and husband Harold were at the post office, when she called on the telephone and said, “Grab your camera and go outside. There is a woman riding one horse and with her is a pack horse. They are almost at your house.” With camera in hand, out the door I went. I spoke to the rider and she and her horses turned around and came into the yard. Look for the rest of the story with photo included in another part of this week’s edition. Also check out her blog at www.freerangerodeo.com Happy Birthday to Brook Hale and Weston Rowland (April 28), Arthur and Doris Poole, Holley Muraco, Jim Hart, and Lela Hale (May 1), Robby Goolsby and Roxanne Rowland (May 2), and George Dickey on May 3.
