We have been so fortunate to have Patty Tibbs as our Dillsboro Branch Library Leader ! She retired after eighteen years with the Aurora Public Library District . Patty was always so kind and helpful to everyone who visited the library . Book club members commented on their meetings being started with wonderful refreshments and a warm welcome from Patty . She remembered everyone ’ s names , family , and interests while making a visit to the library special . She will be missed . We wish her much enjoyment in her new adventures .
Recently I heard someone refer to the Dillsboro Homecoming Festival ( May 16-19th this year ) as the ‘ Worlds Fair ’.
O ur
We ’ ve all heard that or jokingly said it ourselves , but it made me really think about my days at the fair . I loved meeting friends ‘ uptown ’ when I was a teenager and riding the rides , even if I did get sick a time or two . My mom reminded us of the year that my sister and I marched in the parade , my brother ’ s band , took first place in the talent contest , my dad won the horseshoe tournament , and my mom took first in the nail driving contest ! She said she won because she was slow and steady while her opponents , in their haste , bent their nails …. There ’ s a lesson there . Memories are many if you grew up here , and the meaning of ‘ Homecoming ’ becomes dear if you move away . This long-continuing festival in our town adds so much to our collective memory . Whether you live far away or right in town , I hope you each have a great Homecoming story to tell .
To this day , when I hear a particularity loud croak from the pond , I think , “ I bet that one can really jump !”

Spring is finally getting here with some temperatures getting into the 80 ’ s the week I ’ m writing this , and I ’ m happy for some nice , warm weather .
I had my trailer and truck in the parade for the opening of the Aurora Little League on Saturday , April 28 . That day turned into a windy and chilly day but the rain held off . Grandsons , Grady and Coleton made their season debut . Grady is on the Indians while Coleton is on the Reds . Carli is busy with fast pitch softball with the Outlaws .
Rising Sun High School has a softball celebrity with freshman Lindsay Montgomery who smashed the home run record for a season , which was six when she hit number seven at Lawrenceburg . She has since increased that to nine as I ’ m writing this . Just an amazing
SUNMAN feat because that ’ s a career total for some that not too many reach . Hard to believe she ’ s only a freshman .
Sidney Pitts fired a perfect game against Madison Shawe as the Bryce Kendrick club is putting up some high numbers for the total runs in many games .
I attended the Eagle Scout program on April 22 for Caleb Valentine . He has worked hard to achieve his goal , and I was very proud of him . He ’ s had great support from the troop , Mom , Dad , and Grandma Karen .
Memorial Day will be here soon . Don ’ t forget the parade and ceremony at the courthouse on Monday , May 28 . The parade starts at 10:00 AM . I ’ ll be giving the speech this year as well as the one for a veterans ’ banquet at Arlington Memorial Gardens on May 27 . The Rising Sun River Sweep will take place on June 16 .
I ’ ll be heading back to Washington , DC for our veterans ’ trip on June 22-24 with fifty veterans . Seeing the memorials and monuments is always a great time . My favorite is still the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier .
Rising Sun lost a great World War II Veteran , Kenny Swanson . Kenny went on my very first Honor Flight in 2008 and then went on one of our bus trips in 2010 . I remember one day I saw someone pulling weeds at the memorial at the courthouse and it was Kenny . Here was a World War II Veteran down on his knees , so I joined in and helped this war hero . What a man ! We ’ re sure going to miss him and his wonderful personality . We ’ re losing an important part of
American History with our World War II Veterans , so make sure your kids and grandkids have the honor of meeting one of them before it ’ s too late . I had lunch recently with Lawrence Lyttle and Bush White who are two of the best of the WWII boys .
We had our monthly Vietnam Veterans meeting at Hillforest on April 26 . This was the first time I ’ ve visited that beautiful place and now wonder why it took so long . Our tour guides , Judy Ullrich , Dee Hacker , John Blasdel , Cindy Schuette , and Suzanne Ullrich were outstanding .
The best of health to all of you and be thankful for all your blessings .

We have been so fortunate
to have Patty Tibbs as our
Dillsboro Branch Library
Leader! She retired after
eighteen years with the Aurora
Public Library District. Patty
was always so kind and help-
ful to everyone who visited the
library. Book club members
commented on their meetings
being started with wonder-
ful refreshments and a warm
welcome from Patty. She re-
membered everyone’s names,
family, and interests while
making a visit to the library
special. She will be missed.
We wish her much enjoyment
in her new adventures.
Recently I heard someone
refer to the Dillsboro Home-

nents, in their haste, bent their

Memories are many if you
grew up here, and the meaning
of ‘Homecoming’ becomes
dear if you move away. This
long-continuing festival in our
town adds so much to our col-
lective memory. Whether you
live far away or right in town,
I hope you each have a great
Homecoming story to tell.
To this day, when I hear a
