1963 Senior Trip
-click to enlarge-
Part of the '63 seniors on a trip. Others went to different places, but this was the main group.
I went to Columbus Air Force Base to visit my Uncle Cecil McVey who was stationed there with his family. I had a blast. Mama was 'scared' of the riots going on at the time and would not let me go to D.C. I never went there until 2003 when I escorted Joe Burns to a (BVA)Blinded Veterans of America Ceremony and got to see Pres. Bush lay the wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier.. Glad I waited until then.
Where did the others go?
