On Saturday, April 12, Silerton Baptist Church sponsored a trip to the Memphis Zoo. It was a fine day for approximately 34 adults and children to have a great time. A big thank you to Debby Ross and all the others who arranged the excursion A tremendous thank you to Dixie Hills Baptist Church for their loan of two vans for the trip. Marcus had not been to the Memphis Zoo since 1975 as a young teenager with his family, and it was very memorable to revisit.

Sam Houston is the only individual to be elected governor of two different U.S. states, Tennessee and Texas.
