I understand there might be a survivor or others closely connected who may attend. I do know that for some the pain of reliving the day with others is very emotional and they have respectfully declined to attend. Keep these people in your prayers as another anniversary of the terrible event is remembered.

I understand a memorial is being cast and the hope is that it can be dedicated on Sunday, April 3, 2011. You are invited to the Paulding County Historical Society meeting this Thursday at 7:00 PM at the Dallas Civic Center to hear more about the tragic day and plans for the memorial. Neither The Historical Society or the Paulding County History Museum are having the memorial made but we support the efforts of those who are. The event is part of the history of the county which is the reason for our existence -- The remembrance of the history which got us to the place we find ourselve

An Evening With History. Georgia's worst air disaster happened in New Hope April 4, 1977. 72 people were lost in the fiery crash that rainy afternoon. Hugh Walters, will give a talk about the aftermath of this event in Paulding County at the monthly meeting of the Paulding County Historical Society on March 10, 2011 Mr. Walters, a local historian, is working with a group of interested volunteers who are having a memorial made to recognize those involved in the event.

Glen. To get to the Marietta Diner from Hemmingway's on the Marietta Square. From Dallas, keep on going East on Roswell Rd. [through the square) Turn right at the BIG CHICKEN and the MD will be between the first and second traffic light on the right. Tha'd be just past the Sam's and WallMart complex. Across from the Krispy Cream on 41. For those old Marietta folks, - just before Volkswagen Hill --- and where the Village Inn Pizza used to be.

I will post later so I won't speak my mind now as I am still fuming at the no show of ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL OR ANY ONE FROM THEIR OFFICES to welcome the wheelchair bowlers to town or county. A JROTC unit was to be on hand to Present The Colors, even they did not show up to honor most of the bowlers who lost limbs in their military service. Thanks for those in the private sector who help in so many ways. Forget the government sector who have better things to do than welcome a group to town Who have been shot up or blown up. Del Delamont sang the National Anthem and a few other songs

This deserves a bump. Please-if you see one of these visitors -- don't stare -- say something nice - make their day - Then go watch them bowl - you will be amazed. - Paulding bowling lanes is run by special people.

Here is a chance for those who last year had an excuse for not attending. Stop in and see. Your priorities will change by the time you get home.

I hope I am not pushed this year to make comments about the lack of local officials attending this event even for a few minutes. If you see an out of state van with handicapped license tag, stop and welcome them to town. They are probably here for a bowling tournament. The Paulding Bowling Lanes has hosted the “Southern Open” event for 7 years now. Thanks to their staff, this is a well attended event by many from across the USA. Opening ceremonies are Saturday morning at 10:00 AM and serious bowling starts right after tha Please stop by to wish them well. It is a humbl

Marietta is having the day of celebration on Saturday, the 3rd. Street festival and fireworks -- everything. Check here for details. The 7 story parking deck will be open for free parking. It is located on the NE corner of the square. Problem is, you can't get to it easily because all the streets between it and Dallas are shut down for all the street vendors. Easy way to the parking deck from Dallas Hwy. Turn left at the Krystal - you will be going north or east on the 120 loop. Go to the 4th traffic light and turn right on Cole St. Yes, there is an association with the nam

The Americans Who Risked Everything Rush Limbaugh III My father, Rush H. Limbaugh, Jr., delivered this oft-requested address locally a number of times, but it had never before appeared in print until it appeared in The Limbaugh Letter. My dad was renowned for his oratory skills and for his original mind; this speech is, I think, a superb demonstration of both. I will always be grateful to him for instilling in me a passion for the ideas and lives of America's Founders, as well as a deep appreciation for the inspirational power of words which you will see evidenced here: "Our Lives, Ou

164 years ago last week there were over 2,400 dead and dying in the woods and fields, roads and streets of Dallas. This number does not take into count those killed at New Hope and the devastation at Pickets Mill. Nor does it take in to account the citizens of Paulding County who died of starvation and sickness. Oh, don't forget the horses mules and other dead and injured animals. Many of these who died in some of the yards of members of P.com were only 14 to 18 years old. Many lied about their age so they cold fight for their cause ------- Not in the Indian Ocean but our own back and

Prayers for your family and the doctors treating her.

What will they think of next. Suppose we couldn't wave UT or GA or AU or Alabama or Ga Tech flags on our cars as we drove on the highways because someone might be offended. Read this short news story from England.

Thanks for the positive post. About 8:30 this morning there was a 21 gun salute from the National Cemetery by a group of Civil War Reenacters. The shots were not from modern day rifles by the sound and there was a time lag for a re-load. I hope all those taking part in the flag placement got lessons that FREEDOM IS NOT FREE. This last week my wife and I dressed in our 1860's costumes and made a visit to a boy scout troupe to give them more information on the history of the cemetery and how my great grandfather gave the land for it. They too were to be placing flags this morning.
