Beam said the speech for his father a few ’ times and shows great ability for future service. Vance Sellers took care of erving the ladies speech in a commendable fashion. Uncle Sid also filed a few rounds to show his men that he could still handle the old musket. He and Hoc Shull gave a demon stration of a jig and if you have never seen this perfo i are advised to do so opportunity as very ft left that are so versatile.
