Thanks, Jenian. I don’t know who Mr. Penny is but am so glad the oaks have some new growth.
War Eagle!
Jemian, sorry....didn’t have glasses on!!
Mr. Penny is a local celebrity. He is often found at Auburn’s sports’ events and, of course, at Toomer’s Corner later. He is very optimistic, encouraging and friendly. When at the football games, he gets to sit in the student section and when we score he does 50 push-ups! He does those push-ups at age 57! When we went to Arizona last year, the community donated $9000 so he and his wife could have an all-expenses paid trip.
On Monday a week ago, he was discovered at home with a gunshot to the head. The docs at EAMC labored for hours on him and it was touch-and-go for a while. He is now stabilized and at UAB receiving more specialized care.
This has shaken and shocked our town.
