Battle of Athens

Michael over at No Silence Here reminds us that tomorrow is the 60th anniverserary of the Battle of Athens. My grandfather, Paul J. Walker, was mayor of Athens at the time and was "asked" to resign by my great uncle James "Piggy" Willson. Many of those wounds still haunt that community and its members. If you get a minute, run down to the square and hear what the "Old Timer" Chuck Redfern remebers from his WLAR radio broadcast of the day's events.
