The MLK Annual Parade is scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday thru downtown Elizabethtown. A memorial service is planned after the parade at Elizabethtown Presbyterian Church, followed by a light lunch, open to all.

I am an expert in nothing, stumbling along the way and attempting to enjoy the trip. Yesterday, I discovered (too much time on my hands) that my Facebook profile did not include my early years at WBLA, so decided I would update and holy cow, no idea it would be front page news on my home site, but it was. Heard from folks haven’t heard from in years. A little embarrassing but fun. Never intended such a to-do over nothing….Thanks to all who responded….
