This last week District #8 Fire Department suffered a great loss. Chief James Jones passed away. Chief was a proud Vietnam veteran, who was a helicopter crewman and mechanic during the war. He was then a truck driver both locally and cross country. Chief James Jones was our fire chief since the district’s formation in 1994. His comical, but dry humor and wit was sure to have you laughing. He is survived by his wife Robin, children Melanie, Michael, and Megan, along with grandchildren, and other family. We will miss him dearly.
Some of the ladies of our community had a nice lunch with Aunt Janie Thigpen this past week. It is always a special time to gather and enjoy each other’s company. There is always laughter, stories, and recipes to share with one another.

Registration is still open for Pre-K, contact Enon Elementary for further information. Pre-K and Kindergarten are practicing diligently for their end of the year program. We are all looking forward to showing off for everyone.
By the way, we were able to attend the Garth Brooks concert in Tiger Stadium on Saturday. I am excited to say that when he sang Callin’ Baton Rouge it registered on the Richter Scale on campus. I had a feeling it would, so for the second time in my lifetime, it happened, lol I hope you all have a wonderful week…
