Happy anniversary wishes to Terry and Debbie Powell for Dec. 30, they live just below Seman off Hwy. 9; then we remember Wayne Woodfin of Alexander City with connections to Nixburg on Jan 4. It will take me a while to get used to writing 2023.

Sadly, we lost Jackie Sherum of Equality on Dec. 23; after illness with several hospital stays, and then hospice care. Jackie was a good volunteer for our Volunteer Fire Dept. for several years and did some hefty mechanic work on the failing fire trucks, and he was a very nice person. Sincere sympathies go out to the extended family during their time of sadness.
