On Sunday, Ertie Youngblood gave the invocation followed by the pot-luck dinner fit for a king and enough for his army. Many recipes were exchanged. Jeff Tobler was the lucky winner of the beautiful quilt made and donated by Ethel Gardner. Bill (Morris) Youngblood claimed title to being the oldest attending at age 93, while little Kayla of Saucier, MS was the youngest, at age two years. The Dave Kirbys of Westwood, CA traveled the furtherest. Sonny King oversaw the auction table, laden with a variety of donated items ~ always a fun part of the afternoon, with his entertaining rendition.
