Bell Research Center

Facebook is acting up and I don't know if the first flyer will ever come around so I'll start over. Our next lecture will be August 10, Monday, at 7:00 P.M. I'll be telling the story of Horace King, Bridge Builder, who was born in 1807, a tri-racial slave, in South Carolina. He literally went from their to the Alabama State-House but his careel was building bridges of which he was a master. Come by the Bell Center and share in his great story.

We are going to reinstate the Bell Research Lecture series this Monday, July 13th at 7:00 PM at the Bell Center. Friend of the CenterBrad Quinlin will present a program on the history of the Medal of Honor as well as speak about the new "Medal of Honor Museum" in Chattanooga. Let's fill up the chairs for a great night!

Just in case you missed the notice and were wondering, we have canceled the "Across the Wide" performance tonight. They have promised to put us back in the rotation when we all are able to rub shoulders again. Frank

About 5 years ago the Bell Center purchased a scrapbook from Lt. Col. Lovick Pierce Thomas. Fellow Board member Cliff Roberts suggested that we use the material and write a book. The project morphed into a history of the 42nd Ga. and after a lot of work we now have the fruits of this labor. We were to present a program for SCV 1642 but this month has now been canceled. As of now I do have books at the Bell Center, $35.00 each. I have a few signed by both Cliff and myself and you can always bring them in for personal signatures when Cliff comes over from Charleston. Mercer published the book and it should be on Amazon by now.

This Saturday at 7 PM at the Bell Center we will have a live music program with Spontaneous Cracker Eruption. This is the initial program for the Bell Center but we hope to do this on at least a monthly schedule. SCE is a duo with guitar and vocals. Their song lists is represented by the 30's through the 50's and can jump across all areas of American music.
