Tony will open the evening with introductory comments and make available some surprising opportunities for members to see and feel what old Vinings was like. Included will be several present deemed the oldest and interesting of those he calls “Elders”, who worked on the railroad, knew all the players, and provided many of their stories in the book.
“This is an opportunity to become aware of just how much myth, legend, and history surrounds Vinings, and underscores the importance of it’s preservation. All that being relevant, its Thursday and a work night, so no flipcharts or long lecture. Come, learn, and enjoy.” –Tony Doyle
