The Halls Say Hello From Florida

Posted
Hello Banner Friends,
 
My husband, Jack Hall, and I have just returned home to The Villages, Florida, on Sunday after spending a wonderful two and a half days in our former hometown. Since we receive The Banner each week and eagerly await its arrival, we learned that my brother, Dr. Jim Padgett, along with other business retirees were being honored at the city park on Thursday night. Our mayor, Jill Holland, and the city officials planned a very nice tribute to honor each business. 
 
We so much enjoyed the music and fellowship with many previous friends and customers from our retail business of 40 years. We take pride in our small hometown and the many improvements and activities which have developed under the current leadership. We love driving all around town, the park, golf course, subdivisions and eating in excellent restaurants. Our only regret was that the McKenzie Rebels and Bethel Wildcats were playing football out of town. Last fall when we visited, we saw both teams win their games!
 
Carry on, 
Jack and Judy Hall
The Villages, Florida
