I received an e-mail from Madeline Heard Poteet who after reading Pat Mack's grandchild's comments on the "cedar chest" at the cemetery, remembered hearing her dad, Cary Heard, talking about years ago. The comment was attributed to Ann Dunaway (who was my aunt), who upon seeing dirt put over a grave, piped up, "He can't get out now, can he, Daddy?" I had forgotten that, until Madeline reminded me of it, but I had heard about that remark from my daddy. It's good to write down all these cute things kids say. I do. . The North Wilkes Library accepted donations of books last week from Nobie Keener, Ben and Jackie Long, Linda Burns, Donita Hawkins, and Jerri Ann Stewart. The library has some wonderful volunteers. Those volunteers are Sharon Vreeland, Ben Long, Steve Dobbs, Becky Dixon, Cristy Wages, Sherri Bowers, and for story time on Saturdays, Carolyn Gammon and her substitute, Jackie Long. .The three Gammon children, Curt, Kara, and Kaci, children of Craig and Sandra Gammon, chose to be a little different for the Grand Prix Race Sunday. Kara turned her car backwards to race the second time and found it went a little faster, so when Kaci got up to race she turned hers backwards also, then along comes Curt and he chose to race his backwards, too. .Spending a few days last week with Tody and Dave Derrick was their son, Jeff Derrick from the Azores. .Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Keener spent Saturday night at the home of their son, Vince Keener, in Snellville.
