AROUND TOWN

THE FAMILY OF MIKE TRYON acknowledges the condolences of those who have called regarding Mike’s
death from cancer on January 16th, and to those who sent cards.  Most of you know Mike from his presence
as a helper and organizer at art events in which Lois participated.  A funeral with full military honors was held
on Jan. 23 at the Fort Benning Cemetery.  This is difficult to write, and it is personal, but he most certainly will
be missed.  His support was priceless.  In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made in Mike’s
name to the Monument Fund of the 35th Infantry Regiment, for the placement of a monument to the troops of
the 35th over the years on the Walk of Honor by the National Infantry Museum.  Checks should be made out
to the 35th Infantry Regiment Monument Fund, and can be mailed to Lois Tryon, 6162 Cape Cod Court,
Columbus, GA 31904.  They will be forwarded to the Regimental treasurer.  Mike was the chief fund raiser for
this project until his illness prevented him from continuing.

----Sherlock's Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Instructor: J.J. Musgrove
Sherlock's Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre brings the thrill of live theatre together with the fun of
comedy improv, audience interaction, and mystery thrillers in one great evening. Have you ever
wanted to get inside one of your favorite Murder Mystery novels? Excellent at figuring out "whodunit"
way before the end of the book? Well, here is your chance to get inside a real-life murder mystery!
Become a part of the action as you take your seat for dinner and receive your particular role (if you
want one) from one of the actors that will be performing for you that night. You will have the
opportunity to solve the mystery over dessert with the rest of your table and who knows, the killer
might actually be you! Reservation must be placed by Wednesday, February 8. Includes dinner,
dessert, two drink tickets, and the show.
