The season’s first Lunch & Lunch guest speaker, on September 9, was Herbert B. “Kit” Braselton, the 12th child of Green Braselton, one of the three Braselton brothers of the legendary Braselton Store, which still stands – now operating as an Antiques Mall, and no longer owned by the Braselton family – on the corner of Hwy. 53 and Hwy. 124.
An octogenarian with a sense of humor and a deep-rooted faith, this story-teller held the audience in the palm of his hand, as he recounted the family’s history, going back to the first Braselton, who arrived in The New World in the early 1700s from Wales.
