ANNUAL PICNIC

American Legion Camp Cecil Perkerson Post 186 held its annual picnic on June 19, 2010 at the American Legion building in Greenville.  The room had been recently transformed by Toots Hobson (center, below) into a history lesson with posters and photos of twentieth century wars and battle pictures plus local memorabilia.  

The tables were decorated in festive red, white, and blue and a delicious cookout was finished with churns of homemade ice cream and pound cake.  Rob Cato and John Norris presented clips of the American Veterans interviews being conducted and Sally Neal was recognized for interviewing and publishing the memories of Meriwether veterans. Dan Gabriel was thanked for his technology wizardry and equipment used in the interviews.
