News From Buster ::

I got this e-mail from Buster earlier today:

Been a tough week for our classmates.

Billy Sheorn and Pris McLoud have had medical setbacks.

Marcelle Bradley's Fortner husband has regressed due to his dementia---broke his hip and can not communicate.

Betty Jane McCallum Fort lost her husband to pancreatic cancer. He was a good guy and originally from Abbeville ( the birthplace of the Confederacy) and we would often talk Civil war history.

On a good note Julian Burns retired from the army as a 2 star, came back and was recently elected  Chairman of the Kershaw County Council.


I'm wishing the best for all of my former classmates, but I have to say that dementia just scares the crap out of me and the last thing I would want is to have to live like that. When my wife was in rehab after her accident I would visit her and see the stroke victims and it was heartbreaking to see the results!

First Play-off Game Will Be the Last ::

The Bulldog's season ended on another sour note last night in an away game at Belton Honea Path.

Belton Honea Path--28
Camden--9

There's always hope for next year, I guess.

Appeal Upheld, To Some Extent ::

Camden will be allowed to play in the post season against Belton Honea Path this coming Friday night. Dreher will also be allowed to play in the post season, but, as I understand it, the Dreher coach has suspended many of its players and has been fielding stand-ins from the JV team. Probably doesn't look good for them.
Given the way the Camden Bulldog season has been to date I probably wouldn't expect a win for them either, but I continue to wish them the best!
