The 50 Year Service Awards, pins and letters were read and presented by Captain of the Guard Ronnie Blount with 1st Ceremonial Master Jeff Taylor assisting with the presentations. A great dinner was served and enjoyed by all. Thousands of children over these fifty years are extremely appreciative of this dedication by these nobles.
