Sharon & Joe Bannister's Son

My great nephew, Robert Bannister, was confirmed at church in Michigan a couple of weeks ago. Congratulations, Robert.

Dorothy's Great Granddaughter

Jennifer's granddaughter was chosen to represent "Bethel Elementary School" as an attendee to the Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington DC in the spring 2010. She is 11 years old and a 6th grader at Bethel Elementary.
It is an honor to be nominated.. She hasn't decided about going because she is very young for such a big trip. I am sure there will be other opportunities for Breanna if she chooses not to attend this conference.
Thanks,
Proud Great Aunt of Breanna (Caroline Edwards)

Last Night's Harvest Moon Over Pactolus!

Daily Reflector Article, Sunday's Edition

This is a picture of my brother, Bob Jr! (Robin, Chris, Carolyn, Thomas and Sharon's dad)

This article was randomly selected from the Pitt County Chronicles and run in today's local newspaper. Needless to say, I was very surprised to see it when I read today's paper.

I submitted this article years ago to the Chronicles of Pitt County, Volume 2. I was very involved in the DAR, Daughters of the American Revolution, at the time.
