"Miss Heritage"

My sister, Michal Flach, has two wonderful children, Susan Peddy & Pete Flach, who both live in Birmingham, Alabama. Pete Flach and his wife Mary have 3 children and the middle one, Patrica, was just crowned Miss Heritage at her High School. This is a particularly big deal since Patrica is only a sophmore and this title is usually given to a senior. Patrica is a really special girl who I think would look good driving to High School in her Grandfather's Mercedes, but unfortunately I don't have the clout to make that happen for her. She would look good in it, however!

I guess this is her court, but I really don't know for sure.

Here is Patricia with her Mom. Patricia is really just carrying on the family tradition of beauty queens and cheerleaders. Patricia is also a cheerleader, and her Mom, Mary, was a cheerleader at Old Miss and was also "Miss Old Miss." Most of us do not understand what it must be like to never take a bad picture.


Her brother, Philip, escorted Patricia to this event which I think is very special for an older brother to do. He participated in some dance activity hence his different attire. Between them is Mary' mother, Pat Stewart. Philip has been accepted at Auburn University this fall, but is also considering some other schools who have offered him baseball scholarships.

With Patricia and Philip are Brantley and Michael Petty who are two of my niece, Susan's, four children. Brantley is a senior and is going to Auburn next year, and I think that Michael is a Freshman.
