Happy Birthday to Ethan this Wednesday. (Tomorrow)

A Dale County School Should Be Named After Mr. Charles Poland.
While visiting with Rep. Clouse tonite on my radio show, I suggested it would be a fitting gesture
to name an elementary school/or school in Dale County after Mr. Charles Poland. The man who gave his life last Tuesday so 21 precious children on his bus could live.
I hope Rep Clouse and School Supt Donny Bynum will consider this thought and do their best to make it happen. I believe they will.
Mr. Poland Deserves to have his name on a Dale County School.
After all .. His name is on everyone of those 21 children who rode his bus.
It would be a Wonderful Tribute for a Wonderful Man with a Wonderful Legacy -
Mr. Charles Poland - A Precious Name in Dale County Ala, The Wiregrass and The Nation.
