It was a happy Gloria Ragland
looking quite artsy in her dressy
denim togs that greeted patrons at
her I Oth annual art show at Houston
Lake Country Club Nov. 14. This
fun occasion proved also to be
rewarding for the three winners of
Gloria's ticket drawing
Betty Parkinson won a framed
original of “Wooden Rabbits”,
Kathy Queener won a large print of
the old Houston Lake dam and a
small print went to Charles Shaheen
111. Her original watercolors and
prints make excellent Christmas
gifts and will be on display at the
club through December.

Members of the Sorelle Club met
at Ochlahatchce Clubhouse Nov. 18
with 24 members present. Pharaby
Smith. Louise Turner and Nannie
Laura Fudge were hostesses and had
attractively decorated with the
Thanksgiving theme.
The program was given by artist
Peggy Perdue who is a volunteer
who gives of her lime to many wor
thy causes. One of these is teaching
the art of making and painting
camellias at the Camellia Gardens in
Fort Valley.
She brought a large basket of
camellias which she had made of
paper as replicas of the ones grown
in her garden She also gave a
demonstration of how she makes the
camellias and shared the places
where materials can be purchased
for this art. She contributed one of
her blooms as a door prize.
On Dec. 16 Sorelle Club mem

The Central Georgia Alumni
Association met as planned Nov. 18
for Thanksgiving dinner with the
students at Georgia College and
State University president Rosemary
DePaulo was on hand as were
Walter Bilderhack. director and c
ostumer and David Coyle, fight
choreographer of “Macbeth”, to tell
us many things of interest about the
student production.
As Ralph and I settled into our
seats in the beautifully restored
Russell Auditorium of my college
days, we were pleasantly surprised
to be greeted by pretty Perry fresh
man Bristol Sullivan. From start to
finish of “Macbeth" we were wish
ing we had our former literature
teacher Florence Harrison in our
pocket.
Back to reality, next morning
working the Macon Telegraph cross
word puzzle as is my habit to do, the
quote in Aces on bridge next to it
was coincidentally “Double, double
toil and trouble; Fire bum and caul
dron bubble." Very interesting. I also
attempt the Houston Times-Joumal
crossword puzzle.
Miliedgeville is just a hop, skip
and a jump away, and it is my hope
that many other Perry alumni will
join the Central Georgia GC&SU
Alumni Association and go back to
school with me. No homework this
time! Stay tuned.

Bill Whipple of Atlanta was guest
of his brother Wendell Whipple at
Kiwanis Club Nov. 17.
Jenny Andrew introduced guests
Jerry Colly of Lilbum and Walt
Martin of Roswell who were in
Perry to promote the 20th year of
BRAG (Bicycle Riders Across
Georgia). The vacationing bicyclists
will pass through Perry on June 22
when they retrace the route from
Savannah to Columbus 120 pioneers
made 20 years ago.
This is the first time Perry is a
stopover, and there will be 2,500
participants, all ages up to 80, all on
bicycles spending an average of
SIOO,OOO a day.
Mike Froehlich told a tall tale
that was a “moral to the story” story
with a fair tliemc. Since coming to
Georgia he has read some 83 books
and “Bridges of Madison County”
said to him, “If you’re going to take
the children to the fair, don’t leave
your wife at home!”
Derry Watson, Crossroads Bank
president, introduced speaker Steve
Berman, owner of Home Net
Communications. He reviewed
internet applications and forecasted
that 95 percent of communications
in the future will be data rather than
voice and that the transmitting medi
um will be microwave rather then
wire.

Unbelievably to me, Saturday at
Northsidc High PHS region winning
“Tintypes” failed to win state, did
not place, but boy did it show!
Grownups probably were more dis
appointed than the students ... they
had a cast party awaiting them!
Sadly, pianist Lu Mellin had a death
in her family that forced her to be
away and Monday’s performance
for the public had to be cancelled.
I happened to see Ketus Cawthon
and her daughter Myra there to see
Ketus’ granddaughter Emily in the
play. Myra was visiting from
Pennsylvania and showed us a little
kit she has invented called Tale
Tellers that enables anyone to tell a
story using their own photographs.
The kit is a spiral bound, brightly
colored book with frames and photo
sleeves. Some might mistake it for a
photo album but included in the spi
ral is a pen that writes on the glossy
pages.
Myra said, “My mother always
said, ‘lt’s those little small details
that act as glue keeping everything
together.' I never knew what that
meant until I moved away, got
homesick and started writing. I
wrote those little details that kept me
rooted to the South and connected,
no matter how far away I lived, to
my family.”
She now hopes to encourage peo
ple who have a desire to “write the
details". For instance, Myra said,
“When I made my first Tale Teller, I
looked at a picture of my father
holding his grandson. I could have
just labeled the picture. But the story
behind the photo was that my
nephew was so enamored of his
Pappa that it was his first word. That
is part of my nephew’s story, one of
those ‘small details’ that I didn't
want him to forget so I wrote it into
his book. It became part of his
story.”
Kete has Myra’s Tale Tellers for
$15.95 and can answer questions; so
if you’re interested, give her a call at
987-2950.
