•On Feb. 23 it was Deputy Neil Adams Day celebrated on the Courthouse Square in Coldspring. Dale Everitt opened the proceedings, and the ceremony was a moving way to recognize the man who so many people knew and loved.
The Rev. Dalton Currie gave the prayers, with the American Legion Commander of Post 629, Sheriff Greg Capers and Constable Roy Rogers speaking about Neil and how important he had been to our county. His widow DeeDee Adams and her family, with friends surrounding her, were able to see and feel how much Neil Adams meant to our community as well as to them.
The National Anthem was sung during the ceremony and the poignant sounds of Taps ended it. The day was sunny and warm and a picture of a Sheepdog rested beside a photo of Neil which declared “I am the Sheepdog Adams. Protect the flock, confront the wolf.”

Yvonne Cones is president of the Greater Shepherd Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Coldspring Chamber of Commerce.
