    Neither the short notice nor the wet and windy weather kept the PGR from honoring the service of Mr. Staires today. Thank you to the 18 hardy souls who stood the line today at the funeral home in Georgetown.

    A special thanks to those who rode in the procession up to CTSVC afterward for keeping it safe.

    May God be with his family in their time of sorrow.
