9-11-01 Remembered Today on 10th Anniversary

Today was the 10th anniversary of the terrible terrorist events in NY, Washington, DC and PA.
We had a special service in church to remember the victims and their families, and honored our law enforcement personnel, EMS first responders, and firemen.   After the church service, they were invited to stay for a special picnic lunch.  What a great day!  Special music and good attendance.

Then tonight we went to Hayes Funeral Home for visitation for Elba's Mayor, James Grimes - who grew up in Curtis community with us.  James died (cancer) Friday night at Elba Hospital around 9 p.m. - during the Elba High School football game, where his son Wynn is one of the coaches.

James was Mayor for 15 years and did a lot for the City of Elba.  He was so proud of the new children's playground and the new levee around the town.  He was a classmate of my sister Susan.
