Joe Hare: In 1968, VFW was meeting at Elmer Bryant's place

Joe "Townie" Hare writes:
Ed, when I returned from Vietnam in 1968 I joined the VFW and it was in the building beside Elmer Bryant's. The best I remember he was a caretaker/watchman of the VFW property. - Joe "Townie" Hare

Day trip: north eastern Adair County, greater Little Cake area

By Ed and Linda Waggener

On one of the finest fall-like mornings so far in 2017, the direction of Pellyton was calling. We didn't get that far, however, because we were distracted by the technicolor landscape and turned off Highway 206 onto a side road that offered plenty of beautiful spots in need of pictures before the light changed.

An album of sights are being attached to this note.

We always wonder what a floral paradise this would be if we all did just a fraction of what Ruby Smith has done to beautify her lawn on Tutt Street in Columbia.

Her daughter, Robin, recently wrote, "I'd like to invite you to stop by my Mom's house and take a look at her beautiful yard and flowers this year. You will also be treated to a rarity in the area."
