Remembering Henry Fudge: Jan. 17, 1925 - Feb. 15, 2007



2007-02-16 - Adair County Elementary School - Photo By Ed Waggener.
This photo was taken just a few months ago, August 22, 2006, as Henry Fudge, left, was helping Principal Robbie Harmon get Adair County Elementary School ready for its first opening day. Mr. Fudge had been an Adair County School District employee for 11 years, serving first at Sparksville Elementary at a school and in a community he dearly loved. The good soldier that he was, he readily gave a hand to the new school which supplanted the one he cherished, serving there until age and illness prevented his continuance. Mr. Fudge died February 15, 2007.
