In Marion, AL., 2005

The Perry County Learning Center is an Auburn University Rural Studio Project in Marion, Alabama. This thesis work is being done by Architect students Dereck Aplin of Slocomb, AL., Amy Bell of Dothan, AL., Sam Cumle of Pensacola, FL., Angela Hughey of Montgomery, AL., and Turnley Smith of Florence, AL.

. Turnley, Sam, Angela and Dereck take a moment to chat with Thomas Wilson on one of his many visits to the project       The Perry County Board of Education which houses Superintendent Herd's office is getting much needed repair. The old elementary school building may be too damaged for restoration. The old Female Seminary building which is next door to the Learning Center Project, has been restored by the Perry County Historical Society.                 Angela Hughey is good at transit work. Amy Bell will make a good electrician.         The Judson College Earth Team planted the treescape for the Learning Center Project. Trident Maples, which only grow about 25 feet tall, were planted along the sidewalk. Dr. Thomas Wilson is sponsor of the Team. Rachael Webster is Team President.         Andrew Freear addressed the gathering and thanked those that contributed to the project. Team members in the upper photo are: Amy Bell, Sam Cumle, Turnley Smith, Anglea Hughey, and Dereck Alpin. Judson College Earth Team President, Rachael Webster, and other Earth Team members discussed politics with Senator Hank Sanders.
