Senator Cindy-Hyde Smith was in Forest last Wednesday. After touring the new Lackey Memorial Hospital Medical Arts Complex, she spoke to a joint meeting of the Forest Lions Club and Forest Rotary Club. Senator Hyde-Smith was very complimentary of the new medical complex and said it should be a model for other rural areas in the country to follow.
Bubby Johnston of Quitman was at Foothills in Forest on Wednesday where he held a book-signing for “The Thunder of Elephants,” a book that was started by his late father Erle Johnston and recently completed by Bubby. Lots of old friends enjoyed stopping by and visiting with Bubby and getting copies of the book.

Three ol’ Bearcats were reportedly trying to make par and having fun at the Quitman Country Club last week. Host Bubby Johnston, along with Greg Broadhead and Ben Morehead enjoyed a fun day!
Thinking of Tyke Sims, youngest son of Terry and Merridy McKibbens Sims. Tyke graduated from Fairhope West Kindergarten last week, and two days later was having his tonsils and adenoids taken out at the Mobile Infirmary!! Not the most fun way to begin his summer break! Get well soon!
Well wishes also go out to Carol Palmer Threadgill, as she recuperates from shoulder replacement surgery and graduates from twelve weeks of physical therapy. Her biggest incentive is to be in shape for Grandbaby #3’s arrival sometime in mid June! Please keep us posted!
