Met July 14 at the Armory where their museum is housed on the day there was a runoff in the GOP. We did not vote on the new congressman Gary Palmer to replace Spencer Bachus in the Hoover district, the famous MTV High School.
Jerry Dunn, subject of a recent article in Mother Jones was defeated 59-41 percent by the Mike Hubbard Big Dog Republicans in the state.
There were only 24 people to vote in my precinct.
In the Historical Society meeting I overheard the vote was near unanimous to let CBC historian and town librarian Jennifer Wilkins handle getting 450 70 page pamphlets for this year's Turkey trot. Some of them have been very interesting, especially the 2004 or so issue that had a reprint of an Alabama History Quarterly piece on the Turkey trot of 1927 or so, Had a great phrase about wildly flapping gobblers.
I don't think this means Ms. Wilkins has editorial control of the pamphlet, for if she does my chances of having my blog tribute to my Mother are pretty much nil.
The young woman of the AULD was there to cover the meeting. I will link her report if I see one.
