At his home in Washington, DC, Charlie McBride often bakes his mother's recipe for peach cobbler. As he pours the topping over the fruit, he remembers how his mother, aunts and grandmother sat under a tree in Louisiana, cackling at one another's stories as they peeled peaches to can for the winter.

An edifice dedicated to Dublin and Washington Township veterans of World War II has been installed at the Grounds of Remembrance at Dublin Veterans Park, 77 N. High St.
The new Washington Township and Dublin High School Honor Roll is the fourth iteration of an original monument bearing the names of local farmers and other residents who served in World War II, said Tom Holton, president of the Dublin Historical Society.
“In the days leading up to the WWII period, Dublin was a small farming village, he said. The population was 237 (adults and children). There are 87 names on the stone, (so) 36% of the population of the village, including children (served in World War II). That is a significant contribution to the war effort.
