Three Haigler Ladies Jailed!!
SISTERS WILL SPEND NIGHT IN THE OLD HAIGLER JAIL TO RAISE $$$ FOR SAVE SCHOOL SIXTY-SEVEN SOUTH (ONE ROOM COUNTRY SCHOOLHOUSE) PROJECT IN HAIGLER.
The three Collicott sisters (LaNeta Carlock, Myrna Mulligan, and Galena Webster) will be spending at least one night in the old Haigler Jail. Why? They are helping to raise $$$ for the Save School Sixty Seven South (one room country schoolhouse) project in Haigler.
Bail is set at $1,000 each (total of $3,000) to release the sisters from their jail sentence. The community is asking for your help to bail the sisters out of jail by contributing your tax deductible dollars for the preservation and restoration of this one room country schoolhouse. It will be the only completely restored (inside and outside) one in Dundy County. The schoolhouse will not survive much longer in its current cornfield location. Steven and Jody Crouse have donated the building. The Carlock brothers (Stan and Marv) and their wives, LaNeta and Mary Ann are funding the relocation of the building to Haigler. The cost estimate for preservation and restoration is $25,000.

The Best of The Blog - Newsletter
During the winter months, I spent considerable time compiling articles and pictures from the first few months of the blog. Originally I intended to upload this newletter and make it available to anyone who wanted it, however, it ended up being 106 pages of articles, stories, lists and pictures and became so large it could not be uploaded or emailed.
Because printing it in color was so expensive, I tried to print it out in black and white, but I didn't like it without the colored pictures. I finally decided to burn it to a CD to see how that worked. It turned out very nice and I am now ready to share it for a small fee for the cost of the CD. Just email me with your address and we will work out the payment.

Armed Forces Day - May 19, 2007
President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.
On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under one department -- the Department of Defense.
United States Department of Defense - Armed Forces DayWikapediaIn the United States, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. The day was created in 1949, and was a result of the consolidation of the military services in the Department of Defense. It was intended to replace the separate Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Days, but observance of these days, especially within each particular service, continues to this day.
The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated by parades, open houses, receptions and air shows. Armed Forces Day is celebrated annually on the third Saturday of May, and Armed Forces Week begins on the second Saturday of May and ends on the third Sunday of May. Because of their unique training schedules, National Guard and Reserve units may celebrate Armed Forces Day/Week over any period in May. The purpose of Armed Forces day is to honor Americans serving in the five services - the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard.
