J ESwager Birthday Challenge

Jimmy E. Swager Reports on the 2002 Birthday Challenge

What a beautiful day on The Longleaf Trace November 9, 2002. King and I ran into some real nice people and the day was perfect. I talked with Gavin Averll, a reporter for the Hattiesburg American Paper, and he will make a write up  about the trace along with pictures. He was amazed that C. L. King being 80 and myself being 76 were making the 52 mile trip Prentiss to Sumrall and return. 

Was great meeting our editor and news reporter with the Longleaf  Trace.

Regards
Jim Swager
