Carol Perkins: Hats make a grand day out Previous Column: Farewell to the Beach Carol Perkins As I was leaving the house, Guy insisted on taking a picture. "The kids need to see this." The kids are now in their fifties. "You know," I said. "I'm really only twelve inside." He insisted I was maybe only five. The child within us is always present, but because of life and living, it becomes increasingly suppressed. I try to keep mine handy on occasions like this one. A few weeks ago, one of my friends passed out witch hats to our lunch group and asked us to decorate them for our Halloween lunch, which fell on Friday, October 31. She offered a fifty-dollar gift certificate to the winner.

LWU to install special parking signs for veterans By Duane Bonifer Military veterans took extra steps to serve their country, and now the Lindsey Wilson University community will help them save a few steps whenever they park their vehicle on the university's A.P. White Campus. Lindsey Wilson will install six special signs on campus that will reserve those parking spaces for veterans. "We can never say 'thank you' enough to the men and women who made so many personal sacrifices to serve our country," said Lindsey Wilson Dean of Students Chris Schmidt. "This is but a small way the Lindsey Wilson community can thank our veterans every day of the year. These signs will also serve as a daily reminder to our students that we get to enjoy so much in our lives because of those who selflessly gave so much to our country through their service." On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, the Lindsey Wilson community will honor the region's veterans at the university's annual Veterans Appreciation Luncheon.
