The Old Magee Cemetery Tour, which was well attended and proved to be a learning day.  Although it got pretty hot, guest were welcomed at the First Baptist Church of Magee Family Life Center to “cooling” refreshments.  I think Walt Grayson was quite impressed with Magee and its fine folks!

Linda Bennett and her Bonco Babes sponsored the event.  “Talk around the table with Walt” was her vision.  “I love hearing old stories…I knew we would have some interesting ones!”
