This picture was taken on the square in Covington in fall of 1942 or spring of 1943.  J. B. Burch, son of Cora Lee "Norwood" Burch and Andrew Burch, was asked to be the band director for the Porterdale Schools before he entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  He had just graduated from Mercer and agreed to postpone seminary for a year in order to do this. This picture was taken at some event that took place in Covington.  It was during this year that J. B. met & married Shirley Johnson who was just graduated from G.S.C.W. and had come to Porterdale as the Public School Music Teacher. Tullye "Burch" Ralph
