IN
MEMORY. The DeLeon Public Library recently commissioned a bench
for the front sidewalk in honor of the late Clyde Brinson.
Brinson, who passed away in May of this year, was a long-time
supporter of the library, and library personnel wanted his family
to know how much they appreciated him. Pictured above is Shirley
Brinson, Clyde’s widow, who was on hand for the unveiling. |
