prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Ruston, Louisiana City Hall

People from Ruston who were killed in any war since World War I are listed on the Memorial Plaque. Lincoln Parish was formed after the Civil War. I like to ask "How come no one from Lincoln Parish served in the Civil War?" It is a trick question, of course, since there was no Lincoln Parish during the Civil War.

This display in front of the Ruston City Hall gives one an idea how veterans are regarded in this community.
