Arrangements are now final for a dedication ceremony on Sunday, October 17th at 3:00 pm at the gravesite of Frederick Tanner on his old farm land which is near the 10th hole of the World of Sport Golf Course in Florence KY.

The husband, Bobby (Robert Michael), of Germanna's very good friend, Joan Tanner, died last Wednesday. Many of us had met him at the Tanner Feed and Seed store in Madison where he was often found holding "court" on the front porch. Bobby and Joan had been married 56 years. Eleanor and I went to his memorial service Friday night. It seems as if the whole town had turned in his memory. There were many relatives, townspeople, fellow church members (he was an elder), and the fire department (he was Chief at one time), old hunting buddies and representatives of other civic organizations. His three children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all live in the Madison area. John Blankenbaker

John, thank you so much for sending this to the Germanna List, he so loved the bus load of people from Germanna that would stop by each July.. he met some great friends, and loved telling all of them about the old places and graveyards in Madison, with the old Tanner site always being first on his list. John, you and Eleanor are the greatest, what dear sweet people you are to drive way down here to be with us at this time.. I shall never forget your kindess.. Love, Joan [and it comes so natural to put, "and Bobby"] Protected by www.Spam-Stop.com {ZFmMlY3uyX3Vs117ii} ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Blankenbaker" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2010 8:38 AM Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Tanner celebration, > The husband, Bobby (Robert Michael), of Germanna's very good friend, > Joan Tanner, died last Wednesday.
