Nuisance properties may soon be cleaned up and additional sidewalks paved in downtown to make Dadeville a nicer and cleaner place to live following discussions at the city council meeting Tuesday evening.

Resident Jerry McGukin told the council it would be nice to see the walkway in front of the recently renovated gazebo at the corner of Eufaula and Tallassee streets paved and connected to the other sidewalks throughout downtown.

“We do have plans to do the sidewalk there,” Mayor Wayne Smith said.

McGukin also asked if the council would consider making the gazebo a place where local groups and organizations could meet and treat it like the recreation center.

“My suggestion on that is to go through the beautification committee,” Smith said. “I want to take a moment and commend you and Raphord Farrington for your work on the gazebo.”

The council also revisited the issue of a pair of nuisance properties on East LaFayette Street.

“Let’s get these properties cleaned up,” city attorney Robin Reynolds said. “It’s time to be more firm.”

Smith agreed proper procedure should be followed to clean up the properties, and councilmember Dick Harrelson suggested if property owners did not act, the city could take action and send owners a bill for the work.

In other matters heard by the council: • Dadeville resident Fred Walker recognized the Dadeville Police and Fire Departments for their timely response to a tree falling on his house recently.

“We were able to get part of the tree off of the roof, and we put tarps on top of the roof to keep rain out of the house,” fire chief Anthony Wilkerson said after the meeting. “We really appreciated him for coming to the meeting and sharing the comments he had. It really makes you feel good.”

• Susie Anderson with the Horseshoe Bend Regional Library discussed how the library wants to take on some renovations, including work on the See COUNCIL • Page A3

Russell Marine donates $7,700 to Children’s Harbor Russell Marine made a donation to Children’s Harbour Wednesday morning. The $7,700 represents money promised by Russell Marine to Children’s Harbor for completing customer surveys following a boat purchase in the past year. Russell Marine has done this the past several years.

Board the same amount.

To ease some of the fundraising burden off the band members, the board approved giving the group $6,000 toward its expenses.

“The real value in this is that it brings members from three different high school bands together,” Windle said. “My granddaughter participated in this last year, and she made friends from Horseshoe Bend and Dadeville through this.”

Windle discussed with the board about how the system is working with the company GLIMPSE K12 to make sure the schools are getting the best return on their investment. According to Windle, GLIMPSE K12 analyzes data from the schools to determine what the return on the schools’ investment in their students is.

This will eliminate duplication and find ways to improve what each school offers its students.

As the meeting wound down, Windle mentioned how the board was continuing with its strategic plans to improve student achievement and upgrade facilities. Two years ago, the schools started a plan to increase math capabilities among the students, which has proven successful, according to Windle.

The board is now launching into a reading program, using the same framework that has worked for the math program.

continued from page A1

On the facilities plan, it was announced the engineers working with the board are planning to have the analysis done by Dec. 31, so the board could review it at the January meeting and present it at the February meeting of the county commission.

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education also took action on the following: • Both the monthly financial report and the end-of year-financial reports were approved.

Chief financial officer Tommy Thweatt said the system is in pretty good financial shape, with $4.7 million in reserve, equating to 2.58 months of operating costs. “The 1-cent sales tax has really helped on this,” Thweatt said.

• A resolution asking the state legislature to repeal the Alabama Accountability Act was passed. The act provides scholarships to students enrolling in private schools to leave a school labeled as failing, while those donating to the scholarship-granting organization receive tax credits for their contributions. Many feel the act has been a financial drain on systems throughout the state, taking tax dollars away from public school classrooms.

• The board approved hiring Jimmy Norrell and Jerry Huff as bus drivers for the system.

A maternity leave request for a Dadeville

teacher was approved, as was a purchase service agreement with Joyce Smith, and moving Reeltown Elementary bookkeeper and secretary Melia Hall from being an 11-month employee to a 10-month employee.

Windle said Hall requested this change.

• Valley National Bank, PrimeSouth Bank, Regions Bank, River Bank & Trust, Farmers & Merchants Bank and PNC Bank were approved by the board to serve as official depositories for both the board of education and all of the county schools.

• The board approved changing Board Policy 4.43, regarding requests for out-of-state and overnight field trips.

The new policy allows the superintendent to

make decisions on these trips should they pop up at the last minute instead of requiring the board to call an emergency meeting.

The change is primarily to help sports teams heading to postseason play that may not have known how far into the postseason they would advance earlier in the season.

• An updated contract between the county school board and the Dadeville Dixie Youth Sports program was approved, with only minor changes from last year’s agreement.

The contract allows for the youth sports basketball league to use facilities at the Dadeville schools for practice and games.

Shawn Childers with Dixie Youth Sports thanked the board for

HPV VACCINE FACTS:

the agreement, stating the group couldn’t have youth basketball in Dadeville if not for the agreement with the board.

• Approved an overnight trip for a group of Horseshoe Bend students to travel to Huntsville in January to attend Pathfinder Space Camp at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.

• Paid the October bills. Windle said the bills were higher than normal due to a handful of one-time expenses, including insurance payments and several improvements.

The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education will be 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 10 in the board room of the board of education building.

rea residents came together Sunday afternoon for this year’s tree-lighting event on the courthouse square in Dadeville.

Church groups and carolers provided entertainment, Mrs. Claus took photos with children, and guests enjoyed hot chocolate and punch before Mayor Wayne Smith lit up the Christmas tree on the courthouse lawn to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season.

Sunday’s celebration is one of many events taking place this holiday season.

The Alexander City Parks and Recreation Department is gearing up for Christmas in the Park at the Sportplex Dec. 8. Local theater group ACT II has teamed up with local churches to put on a performance of the Nativity. The drama club at Radney Elementary School will be performing “Elf The Musical Jr.” in midDecember.

In addition to everything being offered by these and other organizations, residents throughout the county are putting up lights and other decorations in their front yards. The effort it takes to do this is well worth it, though, as it gives everyone passing by something exciting to look at while heading to their destinations — whether we see lights on houses and trees in the front yard, inflatable Santas and snowmen, or Nativity scenes.

Homeowners are not the only ones bringing a festive atmosphere to town. City workers have been going all over Alexander City these past few days putting lights and holly up on city street light poles, while festive banners hang next to them. A similar scene has been taking place in Dadeville, with decorations popping up on street lights throughout town.

Take some time to enjoy all this holiday season has to offer. Local groups have gone out of their way to host events while lights, wreaths and other decorations can be found everywhere to make this a Christmastime to remember. Let’s take advantage of everything we can.

A few last thoughts on our general election

O

ur new 55th governor looked and sounded more like the old Kay Ivey than the one we have seen the past few years and during the campaign. She was vibrant, succinct to the point, had a perfectly timed and unscripted victory speech. Her green jacket was becoming. She will be a good governor. She will tackle the tough issues the state must face in the next four years, especially our infrastructure needs.

She is extremely qualified and ready to be governor. She is a real Republican with a real Republican super majority state legislature. There are 27 Republicans and eight Democrats in the senate. The numbers are 77 Republicans and 28 Democrats in the house.

Kay also has a unique and advantageous relationship with all of the Alabama Senate. She was the presiding officer of the Senate the last six years and was considered fair and impartial. She worked with and developed a very good working relationship with the GOP leadership. The three primary leaders of the Senate, Del Marsh, Jabo Waggoner and Greg Reed, have a close-knit, trusting bond with Kay. Kay not only becomes the 55th governor, she is the first Republican female elected as governor and the second female governor in our state history. Ironically, Kay cut her teeth in politics working in our first female governor Lurleen Wallace’s campaign for governor. Kay was a student at Auburn University. Little did she know that 52 years later she would be the second female governor of our state.

The more things change, the more they stay the same in Alabama politics.

The Alabama that Kay and I grew up in and knew

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist 50 years ago was totally Democratic. In fact, the word tantamount was used continually to describe the dominance of the Democratic Party. It was an accurate statement.

The dictionary describes tantamount as “the same as.” Today I use the word tantamount when explaining winning the Republican Primary in Alabama. We were a one-party state 50 years ago and we are a one-party state in statewide politics today. The difference is we changed parties. We are now a Republican state, yesteryear we were a Democratic state.

Winning the Republican nomination for statewide office in Alabama is tantamount to election. The proof is in the pudding. We have 29 elected statewide offices in Alabama, all 29 are held by Republicans.

I’m not prophetic, but allow me to share a short passage with you from my column the week before the election. “In bygone days the Democratic primary nomination was tantamount to election.

Today, it is just the other way around. Nowadays, winning the Republican primary is tantamount to election in the good ol’ Heart of Dixie. The more things change the more they stay the same in Alabama politics. Boy, when we change, we really change.

We were a one-party state then and we are a oneparty state now. When Kay won the GOP mantle back in June, she essentially won the governor’s race.”

That was my statement Wednesday before the election. My belief was

overwhelmingly confirmed on Tuesday, Nov. 6. We are a Republican state and I don’t see it changing anytime soon. That was my foremost takeaway from the election.

My second observation is akin to my first, we are so Republican that folks are just voting a straight ticket. We have joined the rest of the nation in that we simply vote straight Republican or straight Democratic. Our voting has become nationalized. Over 65 percent of Alabamians voted a straight lever ticket. It is primarily along racial lines. Alabamians are essentially African American Democrats or Caucasian Republicans.

Therefore, Alabama is a red Republican state for statewide politics. However, just the opposite is true for the metropolitan counties of Jefferson and Montgomery.

If you are going to win a countywide office in these locales, you must run as a Democrat.

The third takeaway was the tremendous turnout at the polls. A record-breaking 50 percent of Alabamians voted on Nov. 6. Again, this was driven by national politics. Folks are either hardcore, conservative Republicans or hardcore liberal Democrats. There are few in between.

Alabamians voted the national party brand. It is apparent that more Alabamians like and agree with Donald Trump than they do with Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

An arrow is a stick that has one pointed end and a notch at the other. A bag that holds arrows is called a quiver. Someone who uses a bow and arrow is known as an Archer.

The Dadeville Record

Boy Scouts help shape young men into good citizens Editor’s Note: This is part of a series of profiles on the 28 agencies that receive funding through the Lake Martin Area United Way. Currently, the United Way is holding its 2019 fundraising campaign, “Be a Lifesaver of Hope.” To learn how to help, contact the United Way at 256-329-3600 or at www. unitedwaylakemartin.org.

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer Since a troop of Boy Scouts was recently reinstated in Coosa County, one has proven himself to be dedicated to the ideals instilled in every member.

“Michael Thomas has not only shown that he can help others, but he has also learned the valuable life skill of helping himself,” said Lacey Carlisle, the district executive of the Muskogee District of the Boy Scouts of America Tukabatchee Area Council.

“He completely paid his way to summer camp in 2017 and 2018 by selling camp cards (a discount card scouts sell and keep part of the proceeds). He has continued to exceed in all the programs that he has been involved in. Most importantly, he has become a fixture at

camp as quartermaster. A quartermaster is a volunteer who delivers water for events, checks trash cans and does other general labor as needed to service his fellow scouts.”

Like other Boy Scout councils across the country, the Tukabatchee Area Council works to help mold scouts into outstanding individuals by instilling in them many of the values that will aid them in achieving their full potential. While the organization teaches scouts they are important as individuals, it also encourages them to gain a stronger appreciation for others in their community and become more personally responsible with a higher sense of self-esteem.

Throughout the year, scout troops go on a number of camping trips and take part in events around the community, including service projects to help others and helping out at day camps and overnighter weekends for the Cub Scouts.

Local scouts have also taken trips to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico and the National Scout Jamboree.

Locally, 257 scouts are part of any one of 11 Cub Scout packs or Boy Scout troops in Tallapoosa and Coosa counties, serving the

Alexander City, Dadeville, Camp Hill, Reeltown and Rockford communities.

Along with this, a character education program the council offers, “Learning for Life,” serves 480 young people at Horseshoe Bend and Dadeville. Those taking part in scouting and/ or Learning for Life will continue to grow and reach their potential in whatever they want to achieve, just like Thomas.

“He is such a hard worker and continues to be a mentor to Cub Scouts in Rockford,” Carlisle said.

For more information about the Tukabatchee Area Council, visit www. tukabatcheebsa.org and its Facebook page, Tukabatchee Area Council.

WANT TO HELP OUT THE BOY SCOUTS? In addition to helping the Tukabatchee Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America by contributing financially to the United Way fundraising campaign, district executive Lacey Carlisle said the organization is always looking for volunteers to work with scout troops. To register and be considered for volunteer work with the local BSA organization, call Carlisle at (334) 262-2697.

Submitted / The Record

Coosa County Boy Scout Michael Thomas has fully embraced the ideals the Boy Scouts of America looks to instill in all its scouts. He has served as a quartermaster at camp and works hard to mentor Cub Scouts coming up through the program.

Loser Lions, hardwood and a fish memorial

W

riting a column the day after Thanksgiving is tough. There are several things on my mind today, so I’ll take a page out of Luke Robinson’s book and give you a splash of a little bit of everything.

RIP Franklin, the best fish that ever lived

When I first arrived in Alexander City, I didn’t know anyone or anything. One of my first ventures into the town was attending the Alexander City Kiwanis Club Fair. I love carnivals — there’s something about the mixture of funnel cakes, unsafe rides and fair games I can’t help but enjoy.

So anyway, I went to the fair and played one of those games where you throw the ping-pong ball into the bowl and if you get one in, you win a goldfish.

I spent $5, didn’t win and figured I’d move on with my life. But the guy at the stand sweet-talked me into buying another $5 worth of balls, and I actually won. (I literally never win anything, so a goldfish was kind of a big deal.)

I did all this research about how to take care of a goldfish — ones you win at carnivals almost always die, according to Google. I even asked my Twitter followers what to name him. We settled on Franklin, named after one of the counties I covered in Pennsylvania.

Franklin was a good fish. He lived at The Outlook office, was fed by my coworkers and grew so big he required a large bowl with fish amenities. No one thought he would live more than a few weeks.

Friday morning, Franklin passed away. He was more than 1½ years old.

He was the best fish that ever lived. We gave him a nice memorial and said our goodbyes. It was sad.

The Lions are just terrible

You know what else is extremely sad?

The Detroit Lions.

I’ll admit I didn’t watch the first half of Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bears because I was cooking and driving. But there were several times in the second half the Lions had a chance to put the game away.

I’m a huge proponent of Matt Stafford. I’ve always defended him, even going so far as to say he was a top-10 NFL quarterback just a few years back.

All that changed Thursday. A pick six is bad enough, but to have a chance to tie the game with under two minutes to go and in the red zone, an interception in the end zone can’t happen.

It’s not all Stafford’s fault, though.

The Lions need to invest in a legitimate tight end. Michael Roberts is no good.

Basketball season is the best

Of course I love covering high school football. As I wrote last week, we all pour our hearts and souls into the gridiron. But now basketball season is heating up, and I’m equally — if not more so, I’m being honest — excited about the hardwood.

We have the potential to have some pretty good teams in Tallapoosa and Coosa counties, and Cougar boys coach Jeremy Freeman keeps promising me I’m going to cover my first state championship team soon. So let the games begin.

I still don’t care about the Iron Bowl

It was about this time last year I wrote a column saying I had finally picked Auburn over Alabama after being in the state for a few months. At the time, I thought I was set on the Tigers and I had plenty of (mildly) good reasons to pick Auburn.

But to be honest, I really don’t care either way. I can’t seem to get behind Alabama because the Tide always win and that’s boring to me. On the other hand, I have enough losers to root for (see above) and Auburn isn’t worth it for me.

I do, however, love a good college football game and can always enjoy one of the best rivalries in the country.

So, I just wore my Alabama “Game Day” T-shirt and my Auburn necklace Saturday. Roll Eagle. War Tide.

File / The Record

Dadeville’s wrestling team returns just three grapplers this season.

Tigers focused on individual goals this season returning to the 138-pound weight class.

Ford is the only Tiger who qualified for the state championships a year ago, and With only three returning and a slew of he’s hoping to be back in that position this youngsters and newcomers to Dadeville’s year.

“R.J. wants to return back to the state wrestling team, the Tigers are focused more on individual goals rather than team tournament and do a little better as far as performing,” coach Ford said. “He wants success. And those individual goals may to pick up some more wins there.” or may not be wins and losses.

TJ Cruz returns at 113 pounds, and “We really have a lot of personal Luke Keel will take up his spot at goals,” Dadeville coach Fred Ford said.

“We have several student-athletes that are heavyweight.

“They just want to compete and beat on the team and they want to accomplish the people they should beat and put up something — whether it’s discipline, a better stance against ones that may be weight loss, if it’s getting in better shape or for our crossover sports, for football to more experienced,” Ford said.

With only 12 wrestlers on the roster, get a little more aggressive and learning leverage, they have a lot of personal goals. the Tigers are extremely young and fairly inexperienced. Ford said he’ll even “That’s going to have to be what we be starting some seventh-graders, but judge ourselves on at the end of the day. he’s excited about the potential talent Are we hitting the marks of what we’re especially of Bradon Pratt and Kemarcus trying to accomplish?”

“He’s small as well. They both weigh about 88 (pounds) but they’re competing at 106. They’re just really trying and being coachable, and they’re learning.”

At 145, Grayson Knox is a freshman who will start this season, and Ford said if he sticks with wrestling, Knox could be a real threat down the line for the Tigers.

“He’s a ninth-grader but he has a high ceiling,” Ford said. “If he can really commit, get some training over the summer and really take it serious, he could end up being a really good wrestler.”

Despite the low numbers, Ford is already pleased with how the Tigers have performed so far. They opened the season Monday and tied 36-36 on the mat with Holtville, but the Bulldogs had the edge in a tiebreak. Dadeville will next compete Saturday at the Tallassee Duals.

“We’re just trying to get in as much as we can get to get a good feel for things before we get into our sectional competition,” Ford said.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can almost count on someone not understanding what you say. A great deal of activity could be triggered as a result of this miscommunication. A boss could be unusually distant or cold. Worrying won’t do you any good. Tonight: Clear out some paperwork and errands.

TAURUS (April 20- May 20) When your creativity surges, you have little to be worried about. Today, you exhibit unusual imagination and have the ability to focus on whatever issue is at hand. You can’t seem to detach from a problem that has been quietly nagging at you.

Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could need some time to relax in order to stay on top of a situation. You might not see the logic of slowing down. Try a slower pace, at least for a day. Confusion surrounds your home. Do not be surprised if you are caught in the middle of a disagreement. Tonight: Be a couch potato!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Honor a fast change of pace. Several people are determined to Änd you, no matter what! Stop for a moment and listen to what each person is sharing. Slowing down and listening will help you to center yourself.

Be more of an observer right now.

Tonight: The less said, the better.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have good Änancial sense, which you often display. Of course, everyone enjoys letting go sometimes. Set limits on how far you will go with your spending. You have a lot of people you want to spoil and indulge this holiday season. Tonight: Buy some eggnog on the way home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your magnetism emerges. People don’t often see how talented you are.

You tend to be modest and try not to toot your own horn. Understand that it’s OK to accept others’ praise from time to time. A child or loved one craves more of your attention.

Tonight: Where the action is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You sense that a lot is going on behind the scenes. For now, just do your thing. Be receptive to others’ questions, and consider asking some of your own as well. Just remember to be subtle in your approach. Be aware of what is happening behind the scenes. Tonight: Among the crowds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Emphasize the pros and cons of a situation that comes up in a meeting.

If your reaction is very different from that of those around you, you might want to think through where you are coming from. Remember, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure builds around your work or your community responsibilities.

You might not be aware of how fussy you can get when you’re out of your element. You care about precision, yet you’re still adventurous and like to take risks. Tonight: Join friends for a fun time out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You detach with ease and understand much more of what is motivating you as well as those around you.

You gain a strong perspective, which helps you interact with others. Touch base with someone who has very different insights from yours. Tonight: Note what is not being said.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The best way to handle a partner or key associate is on a one-on-one level. You can root out a problem in order to come to an understanding with this person. Both of you will feel much better after having a long chat.

Visit with an older loved one. Tonight: Opt for dinner for two.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might not agree with a partner, but you ultimately recognize that the two of you have similar issues. What is different is your responses to these issues. You could learn a lot from this person. Respect what each other has to say. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s request.

The young women are taught the skills they will need to succeed in the future, while also receiving valuable spiritual, emotional and physical development to further build the girls into stronger women.

Since he began working at the ranch, Harmon said he has seen many of the girls who come through the program become successful both while at the ranch and after leaving, including the three young women whose story he shared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sisters have been at the ranch for around three months now and are doing very well,â&#x20AC;? Harmon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The oldest just made the volleyball team (at her school), the middle child is doing great in school and carries around a ready smile, and the youngest is able to be a kid. She loves swimming, fishing and helping feed the animals.â&#x20AC;?

Recently, Harmon said the oldest of the three children came to him, thanking the ranch for taking her and her two younger sisters in, while also saying how much she loved the houseparents who have helped look after the three of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While these young ladies have had a lot of loss to cope with and a great deal of issues to be healed, at least they now know they have a safe and secure environment and people that love and cherish them, as their parents did not so

Pickler serves from the ground up Local real estate agent defended country in Air Force during Korean, Vietnam wars

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

For the past 45 years, Gordon Pickler has been selling real estate in the Lake Martin area, giving people the chance to purchase their own slice of lakefront property.

However, real estate was not always Picklerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career path. He enlisted Pickler in the U.S. Air Force in 1950, during the Korean War, and served for 23½ years.

After graduating first in his class, Pickler was offered his choice of assignments. He chose a station in France, serving with an Air Force squadron dating back to the First World Warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lafayette Escadrille (a unit of American volunteers serving in the French air wing prior to the U.S. entering the war), based at a former German fighter base near Paris the Luftwaffe used to protect a nearby Renault factory.

During his more than two decades in the service, Pickler was stationed in France, Denmark, the United Kingdom and Ohio, and also served two tours of duty in Vietnam before finally concluding his Air Force career as the

director of research at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery.

One of the tensest moments in Picklerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Air Force career came when he was part of a bomber group involved in the Strategic Air Commandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reflexâ&#x20AC;? program, in which American bombers armed with nuclear payloads stood ready to deliver their ordnance to targets in the Soviet Union.

One of the main scenarios Pickler said his group practiced was dropping 100 hydrogen bombs within a 20-mile radius of downtown Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), then lingering over the area and thwarting enemy defenses. Should this have led to all-out nuclear war, Pickler said he and others knew of salt caves in Finland and Sweden, where they would consider hiding out to try and survive the atomic conflict.

Another tense moment came while stationed in Germany in the 1950s.

After President Dwight Eisenhower voiced his support for the 1956 revolution in Hungary, Picklerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit stood by with a mission to bomb Soviet tanks moving on Budapest as the Soviets moved to crush the revolution and reinstate a Communist regime.

However, Eisenhower called off the mission,

leaving the Soviets to reclaim control of Hungary.

Pickler has a number of interesting stories about his time in the military, including some of the awards he received and several of the people he met because of the positions he held. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During one of my tours in Vietnam, I was on a C-47 during (President Richard) Nixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy of Vietnamization, where units were composite and made of Americans and South Vietnamese,â&#x20AC;?

Pickler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were on the C-47 to detect Viet Cong and North Vietnamese radio signals. They were bad about maintaining radio silence. If we detected a transmitter, we could call in a B-52 airstrike.

At this time, the North Vietnamese had obtained some Soviet anti-air shoulder launchers. One flight, I was standing at the back door to get some fresh air when I saw a flash of light coming from a village the North Vietnamese had just captured. I thought it was a heat-seeking missile, so I grabbed a flare gun and shot it out of the plane so the missile would follow it.â&#x20AC;?

one point, Chancellor Dr. Ralph Adams tasked Pickler to see about setting up masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs at Air Force bases in Europe. The effort was successful and helped the university earn the nickname of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kudzu University.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At one point, Troy had 31 locations, even one in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia,â&#x20AC;? Pickler said.

While he has enjoyed the real estate industry for the past 45 years, Pickler said he was thankful to have served his country for more than two decades in the Air Force. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt it was my good fortune to serve,â&#x20AC;? Pickler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it as a duty, I saw it as an opportunity. I had the good fortune to have an exciting and rewarding career.â&#x20AC;?

For his action in saving the flight from the enemy missile, Pickler said he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, while he also earned the Air Medal twice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; once for helping save a B-47 bomber and its crew from crashing after the plane suffered a hydraulic failure and again for shooting down a Soviet sampling balloon over the Bay of Biscay off the west coast of France.

During his time in the Air Force, Pickler had the chance to meet former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the Shah of Iran when the Shah donated money for an addition to the library at Maxwell.

Other lighthearted stories Pickler shared included how, while stationed in Germany near the town of Landstuhl, his unit had to use part of the local Autobahn as a runway.

While serving in the United Kingdom, Pickler was privileged to see one of the first TV broadcasts of The Beatles.

Upon his retirement from the Air Force, Pickler took a job at Troy University, eventually becoming the Dean of Arts and Sciences. At
