Mr. and Mrs. Fulford McMillan
recently attended his old Army
division reunion in Kentucky.
Fulford said that approximately
1100 veterans, wives and children
were in attendance.
It is always good to talk to
anyone about a reunion, because
most times it has been a happy oc
casion and you hear about the
good old days and how the people
have changed in looks.
Can't wait until November for
the old Btry. "F" reunion.

Joe Dupree and his wife, Helen,
now of Raleigh, stopped by the
house last Thursday afternoon.
The Judge had been by Fayetteville
and had visited in Raeford before
stopping. Helen went by the school
to renew old acquaintances.
They were in good spirits and
both Mid that retirement was just
what they needed. It was good
talking to them and I agree that
retirement is Tine.

Last week 1 received the follow
ing letter and it is being run in this
column without the knowledge of
the writer of the letter. Hope she
doesn't mind.
Greetings,
In the spring I wrote to you ask
ing that you become involved with
a reactivated Hoke County
Historical Association.
This week I have learned that in
terested, caring people are needed
to help preserve the UCB/Bank of
Raeford Building. This fine struc
ture, built in 1911, is now empty.
United Carolina Bank would give
this building to a bona fide non
profit organization if they could
find uses for it. No such organiza
tion has asked for the building. An
offer has been received to buy it,
however, there is a question that
the use may not be in the best in
terest of the community.
I'm hoping the members of the
Hoke Historical Association can
find ways to maintain the integrity
of this lovely old buildin|. There
are folks who want to get to work
at once. I am asking that you come
to a meeting Thursday evening
(Sept. 6) at 8 p.m. in the History
Room of the Hoke Library.
Bring your good ideas. Wc will
think and talk. See you then.
Sincerely,
Kay Thomas
I think that Kay has come up
with a project that a Historical
Association could make work. If
you are interested in Hoke history,
be at this meeting. Now if you are
in the group that has made an offer
for the building, I believe that
most folks would like to hear your
side of the question.
So be at the meeting if you are
pro or con.
