A
special ceremony will be held on St. George Island next Monday to
place a flag pole at the entrance to St. George Island and to
remember 29 year old Bruce Maynor, who drowned while saving a family
member on St. George Island earlier this year.
In
August the Franklin County commission approved the placement of a
beach warning flag at the entrance to the island.
Currently
the only Flag pole on St. George Island is located by the Lighthouse
and isn’t very visible to the public, particularly for people going
to beach access points other than the public beach.
The
commission also agreed to place a small memorial sign on the new
flagpole recognizing 29 year old Bruce Maynor, who drowned on St.
George Island on April 30th.
Maynor
was from Thomasville, Georgia; he was swept away while rescuing a 12
year old family member from the rough surf at the St. George Island
public beach.
The
memorial sign will be placed in recognition of Maynor's heroism in
saving a child’s life.
The
sign dedication is set for Monday, November 20th at 11 a.m. on St.
George Island.
The
public is invited to attend.
