You missed an interesting session last night.  The meeting space was full of interesting posters.  Bob Burton told us all about the Battle of the Bulge and his experiences during the war and Albert Ward told about his experiences as a young man in the home guard and living in Watkinsville during WWII.
Come join us in the Watkinsville Chris tmas Parade.  Here are the latest details.

We are walking behind and alongside a beautifully restored 1911 Model T owned and driven by Wayne Raper of Conyers.

We will carry our banners from DAR and OHS and besides being dressed in period clothing, we can be carrying wreaths on arms, Chris tmas packages wrapped in period style, tin pails for handing out candy, lanterns that sort of thing as if we are going about our business preparing for the Chris tmas holiday.

contact Mary Delaplane from Oconee county for rental ideas:  (706) 340-2106; thedressupbox@bellsouth.net
I will be open at The Dress-Up Box on Hywy 186 just over the bridge and on the left.

I am a night-owl and could come back down to the shop most evenings 8pm-11pm.   Folks would need to make an appointment, but that is a definate option for those who work during the day.
 
Complete costume rents for $45.00.   I can rent accessories or pieces of costumes $10-25.00.
 
Thanks!!   Look forward to seeing and dressing some of your historical friends.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
