DAYLE FERGUSSON'S CORNER

The official unveiling of Bill Fergusson's Aviation Art Exhibit was rather a patriotic event, with representatives of the Gallatin and Hendersonville Civil Air Patrol presenting the colors, followed by USAF Lt. Col. Courtney Rogers (Ret.) leading us in the prayer and Pledge of Allegiance. She is committed to upholding the Constitution, and paid tribute to Bill's talent, and service to God and country as a World War II pilot. For a copy of her prayer go to http://www.theamericanprayer.com/

Family members shared many poignant memories of Bill's life and guest speaker Claude Reese explained in entertaining detail boyhood adventures with Bill, and the likely track Bill took through his years as a WWII pilot and flight instructor.

Special thanks go to local historian, John Garrott, Sumner County archivist Kay Durham Hurt, WWII pilot and historian Claude Reese, and the Sumner County Regional Airport Authority for making this permanent exhibit possible.
