consider doing the golf
outing earlier in the summer
and finding a cooler way to
celebrate the birthday.
“It is impossible to express
our appreciation to the
volunteers, starting with Pat
Leatherwood, who made
this event possible,” Wright
said. “It took massive
amounts of planning and
extremely demanding
physical labor to make it
happen. Pat did a masterful
job of organizing the course
and overseeing the details
of the project - and keeping
more than two dozen
volunteers coordinated and
eager to help.”

Wright said. “The Dublin
Historical Society and the
Chamber of Commerce look
forward to the day, which
will come soon, when we
can swing those doors open
and bring an important new
tourism venue to our
community- And we will be
able to help preserve the
Hogan legacy from a
perspective which no other
community in the world can
do.
