The Whole Town: 4th Annual Gradyville Get-Together December 11, 2005 2005-12-12 - Gradyville, Adair CO, KY - Photo Ed Waggener. MAKING HISTORY: Ever since hearing Garrison Keillor tell about the whole town of Lake Woebegon being in the Human Flag in front of the Central Building, we've (Linda and I) have wanted to take a picture of a whole town. Fortunately, everybody at the 4th Annual Gradyville Get-Together December 11, 2005 agreed to leave the warm D&F Grocery and the hot coffee and desserts, to brave the cold and make history. Thanks to Frances Salyers co-proprietor of D&F Grocery, we have names to go with the faces above.From left Matt Sparrow holding Harmony Sparrow; behind them, Ann Melton; Nikki Sparrow, Kim Salyers (slightly behind), Frances Salyers (red scarf); staying on front row only; Jessica Hatfield (white jacket, blond hair), Hope Salyers (navy blue jacket), Vicky Byrd (red jacket), Joyce Reliford (blue jacket, red blouse), Mrs. Sneed (white coat), with Bobby Sneed behind), Pete Reliford (slightly behind Bobby Sneed); Mildred Sneed (front row, blue jacket and slacks, white shoes); Daryl "Flintstone" Sneed, to right and slightly behind Mildred Sneed; J.M.
