The groups sponsored a school of instruction at the post on Sept. 9. Travis Whaley, Alabama State Adjutant-Quartermaster of Montgomery, was the guest speaker and instructor. Robert Pruitt and his daughter Linda, of Grove Hill, served a breakfast of sausage, biscuits, gravy and coffee to the thirty plus people attending the event.
