"Finally, I want to thank the Sudan Shriners for giving the town of Ayden the opportunity to be part of an event that was in memory of a great man, Ralph Wingate. It was a pleasure being with his wife, Janet, at the event and seeing how much Ralph meant to so many people.
Thanks again to all of the Sudan Shriners for making the parade so special. The town of Ayden will be talking about this for years to come. We look forward to hosting your event again in the future."

A novel as well as very local take on the theme! :)

This man must have held a very precious spot in the towns hearts! I also was reading you post below this one, that you "love cards" I would love to send you a very special card that my twin makes, they are called Iris Folding....I have a couple of very special cards, and I would love to share one with you. My email is PowersTwinB2 at att.net...if you would email me an address, I would get it out asap!
I'm fascinated by the cars! :)
Happy Mother's Day!
Great post this week Ann! :)
What a nice tribute to Ralph Wingate, he would be proud. The Shriners do look good, we only see their motor cycles and little cars in our parades. Very nice pictures.
Nothing like a parade where a good person is truly honored. Your pictures are great.
I also love all the family pictures on your sidebar. I enjoy seeing every one of them...they all say "love" to me.
