How fitting that Mella Dee Allen and Beverly Rowe were on the field along with Kathy Hadley for presentation of plaque!! Mella Dee became a "mother hen" to hundreds of kids who came through the Adair Co Band program while (her husband) Tim was band director at Adair Co., and it wasn't (and still isn't often now that Tim is director of the LWC band) that if you see Mella Dee at a band function that you don't see her employee and friend Beverly close by. Thanks to both of them for being there for all those young people over the years!! - RICHARD RAINES
