On July 17th the RAGS (Retired Aid Group) held their annual gathering at the home of Lea and Brantley Townes in Forest.

Boy, this group knows how to eat and how to talk!!! A fun time was had by all. Buddy Johnston conducted Vern Fairchilds' initiation to the group as the latest retiree.

The group, pictured here, includes the retirees, spouses, and a few folk who haven't retired yet, who joined us.
