An apparent tornado hit the town of Tellico Plains on Friday afternoon, March 2. Numerous homes and buildings were destroyed. Fortunately no one was killed and only a few injuries were reported. Several Self family relatives live in the Tellico Plains area. Dillard Self and his daughter live on South Babcock Street which is right in the center of the worst hit area of the town. I have not been able to reach Dillard for comment due to telephone lines being down.

SELF FAMILY REUNION NOTES
The first day of autumn in the beautiful foothills of East Tennessee made a great setting for the annual Self Family Reunion. It was held Saturday, September 22 in Maryville, Tennessee at Pearson Springs Rotary Pavilion. The crowd this year was one of the biggest ever. There were approximately 100 in attendance. I heard lots of comments made about the large number of youth that attended this year. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of everyone. Most of the young folks were not still long enough for me to get a quick snapshot. The weather was very pleasant and the food, as usual, was so delicious. Everyone seemed to really have a nice time. Pictures of the event will be posted as soon as possible.
