Dedication Herman Blackmon graduated from Pickering High School and attended L. S. U. He married the former Euna Brown and is the father of three grown children. Mr. Blackmon has resided in the Pickering community and been a farmer, rancher and minister most of his adult life. He is a dedicated man, a man dedicated not only to God, but to children as well. For the past 31 years Mr. Blackmon has served the Pickering community, taking special care, as he drives his bus, of those children who are so dear to us. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Beauregard Electric and the Agriculture County Committee. Mr. Blackmon retired to devote more time to his church and his cattle farm. Not many people are capable of doing the outstanding job Mr. Blackmon has done. Mr. Blackmon, you are truly a success. Success I hold no dream of fortune vast Nor seek undying fame. I do not ask when life is past That many know my name. I may not own the skill to rise To glory's topmost height. Nor win a place among the wise, But I can keep the right. And I can live my life on earth Contented to the end. If but few shall know my worth And proudly call me friend. 7 Edgar A. Guest
