2008: DON'T MISS GARY LIPPINCOTT'S MEMORIAL DAY

I AM A FREQUENT VISITOR TO GARY LIPPINCOTT'S FASCINATING WEBSITE, WWW.GROVEVILLEMEMORIES.BLOGSPOT.COM. GARY'S GROVEVILLE IS TRULY A LOCAL TREASURE. THE CLOSE-KNIT VILLAGE COMPARES VERY FAVORABLY WITH "MAYBURY RFD." IN HIS LATEST WEB POSTS, GARY PUTS US IN THE PATRIOTIC MOOD WITH A COLLECTION OF BEAUTIFUL DIGITAL PHOTOS OF GROVEVILLE'S ANNUAL MEMORIAL DAY PARADE. IF YOU HAVEN'T VISITED, BY ALL MEANS ADD IT TO YOUR "FAVORITES;" THERE ARE ALWAYS VERY INTERESTING EXAMPLES OF SMALL TOWN, "SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY" IN A BUCOLIC TOWN WHERE NEARLY EVERYONE KNOWS THEIR NEIGHBORS AND MANY HAVE LIFE-LONG FRIENDS WHOSE ROOTS HAVE BEEN FIRMLY PLANTED FOR GENERATIONS PAST.
