Marion Institute Homecoming

These are images of homecoming weekend, for two years, at Marion Military Institute (Marion, AL), where my father, Mark Espy, went on a football scholarship for two years before transferring to Auburn University.  While Dad was at Marion, Mom was at the all women's college, Judson, also in Marion.
