The group arrived here around 3:30, and were seperated into two groups to tour the propogation and production divisions of the nursery.
 
After the tours we had
a good 'ole southern fish
 fry and entertainment
was provided by
James Gilbert.

   Rick and Marla traveled on and met up with them in Chattanooga, TN for the meeting.    The tours were great over there, and I have included a few pictures from those also.
