Welcome to our Fall 2014 Issue! It’s always such a thrill for us to
explore the rich traditions of our community, in addition to looking
forward to that which is yet to come.
In this issue, we take a peek backward in time with the Bedford
International Association, as they visit Normandy for the 70th
Anniversary of the D-Day invasion… we mark the achievements of
some notable youth… and we introduce a new feature: The Hunter’s
Companion.
As always, we bring you gardening tips, a puzzle, and a peek ahead
to seasonal fishing methods. Thank you for your feedback, as always.
Enjoy, and Discover Smith Mountain Lake!
