It appeared everyone was on vacation at this month's Coffee Call. There was still a good crowd but we were missing many people.

This month's Coffee was sponsored by Kristie and Robert Valls. Kristie has opened her law practice on the downtown square, we look forward to seeing her around town.

Mr. Calendar celebrated his 91st Birthday with us on June 4th, Mr. Calendar was at Pearl Harbor and attends the Coffees as often as he can. He lives in Madison and  even still drives himself to the Museum.

Author of 'When Winning Was Everything', Delbert Reed was at the Museum to sign his book about Alabama football during WWII. The book is about how many of the college students & coaches at Alabama were called to the war.

The Museum had a very busy month, school groups from Brookhill's 4th grade, Athens Elementary 3rd grade, 49 Home Schooled students and the Crye Leike Realtors had a luncheon.

Mr. JD Jones was back at the Museum Saturday after having open heart surgery a few weeks ago, He seemed to be doing very well, just a little low on energy. Wendell Powers has been absent from the Museum, he had been in the hospital with ulcers and gout, but he too is on the mend.
