Gameday in Athens - UGA vs University of Tennessee at Martin

Growing up in Athens it was a joy to listen to Larry Munson announce the Georgia games. He was brilliant and his words live on today. This quote is located in the Tate Center on UGA's campus and is part of the opening montage at the stadium. 

The campus at UGA is beautiful this time of year. Many things are in bloom including the Crape Myrtle. 

Tailgating on the lawn in front of Memorial Hall. Dawg fans know how to do it right!!

The University of Tennessee at Martin players. This photo was taken right before the game started. The UT-Martin players and coaches are a class act. It was an honor to meet them. We wish them a lot of success in the rest of their season.

This was my view from the sidelines. A once in the lifetime opportunity. 

And the  highlight of the game for me was meeting Boom, Uga XI. I have always wanted to meet Uga.

Moina Michael's First Poppy

Moina Michael, the Poppy Lady is the originator of the idea of using the poppy as a symbol of remembrance for our fallen servicemen in World War II.  In November 1918 Ms. Michael was inspired by John McCrae's poem, In Flanders Field to her poem, We Shall Keep the Faith. She also went to Wanamaker's Department store and purchases several poppies. She vowed to wear a poppy in remembrance. She campaigned not only to have the poppy adopted as the symbol of remembrance but also for the sale of poppies to support returning disabled veterans. as a result of Ms. Moina's efforts the American Legion adopted the poppy as a symbol of remembrance in 1921.

This is one of the original poppies. It is now on exhibit at the University of Georgia Special Collections Library in Athens, Georgia.  

To learn more about Moina Michael check out the Moina Michael Poppy Project. 

We Shall Keep the Faith

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,

Sleep sweet - to rise anew!

We caught the torch you threw

And holding high, we keep the Faith

With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red

That grows on fields where valor led;

It seems to signal to the skies

That blood of heroes never dies,

But lends a lustre to the red

Of the flower that blooms above the dead

In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red

We wear in honor of our dead.

Fear not that ye have died for naught;

We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought

In Flanders Fields

SNOW 1/28/14

With the first snow flurries students, staff, and faculty were excited.  Everyone was anticipating getting out early and the possibility of the university being closed the next day.  The campus closed at 3:30 and is closed today.
