The above group of deacons from Griffin Baptist Church built and installed a flagpole in memory of William R. Anthony last month at the Pickens Recreation Department on Sangamo Road. Pickens Recreation Director Cheri Anthony extended a sincere thank you to the men earlier this week for their hard work. “This dedicated group weathered the snow and was able to finish the project in three days,” she said. “The finished product is something to behold, and one that future generations will enjoy for years to come.” Pictured from left are Ted Riggs, CB Hayes, Tommy Boggs, Joel Swangham, Joe Hughes and Robert Cowan.
