Episode 2: Memorial LaneFeatured Guest: Julia Pannell, chair of Friends of Memorial LaneOther Guests: Laura Fisher, Bob Pannell and Aaron McLainExcerpt (Tammy Dooley when asked about the events at Memorial Lane): “It’s a time when we all come together and we’re very reflective. It’s also a time that our city leadership, our county leadership, our officials – everyone comes and pays respect. It’s just a time to show that we’re a great community and that we’re all together.”Excerpt (Julia Pannell): “I tell people to just come (to Memorial Lane) and be. You know if I’m having a sad day, I just go down there and sit on a bench. When you realize what other people do, my struggles get a lot easier.” Overview: A trip to Branson, Missouri, completely changed Julia Pannell’s life and ultimately gave life to a community treasure in Granbury, Texas. On this episode of Uniquely Granbury, Julia explains how she simply wanted to do more to honor the service men and women in her community. She also wanted to recognize the first responders. Julia Pannell wanted to celebrate all of their selflessness for putting their lives on the line for our safety and freedom. That is how Memorial Lane was born, and it’s why it has become a must-see when people visit Granbury. From its inspiring glow at dusk to the annual events held onsite, Memorial Lane is a beautiful celebration of service. Besides our sit-down conversation with Julia, we interview a handful of other people who help capture the essence of the park and Julia Pannell’s heart for giving back. Uniquely Granbury is a community podcast that celebrates the events, the venues and the history of Granbury, Texas. It also showcases the incredible people who tie it all together.
