High spots of the annual reunion of the United Conference [sic] Veterans at Tampa! Aaron L. Hurt, 82, of Honaker, Va., and Mrs. Fannie Graves, 56, of Chattanooga, met at last year's Birmingham foregathering and added an unprogrammed feature to 1927's by stepping off into matrimony. Here they are just after the ceremony. In the middle is a car full of pretty United Daughters of the Confederacy in the reunion parade, with a grizzled vet as guidon bearer and (inset below) General Felix Robertson, of Texas, only surviving general who wore the gray from '61 to '65.
