Towers and Flowers

In a 2001 RHS alumni reunion held in Kerrville for accommodation purposes, the guest speaker, Joe Galloway, told the best alum story Putt believes he has ever heard.

A Refugio policeman arrived; and when he did, the signal was given to throw down the mannequin. Joe said that the deputy fled in fear.
