MOULTRIE — The City of Moultrie officially designated a portion of Third Street Northwest in honor of a local minister Monday.

A ceremony was held Monday to unveil a sign designating part of Third Street Northwest from First Avenue Northwest to Northside Drive in honor of the late Superintendent Paul E. Hayes Sr., who died Jan. 17.

Moultrie Mayor William McIntosh said the small crowd of family, friends and church members was there to honor Hayes. The mayor also read a resolution signed by the Moultrie City Council July 22 in honor of Hayes.

“This is a fitting tribute to one of the unsung heroes of our community,” McIntosh said.

Members of Hayes family said they appreciated the city doing this in his honor. His son, Paul E. Hayes Jr., said the day was a day of honor for the city and celebration of his father’s life.

Applause went up as a sign designating the street in honor of Hayes was unveiled. McIntosh said he hoped this would be the first of many recognitions of the “unsung heroes” in the community.

Wayne Littles: From Moultrie to the moon shot … and beyond
The year J. Wayne Littles graduated from Moultrie High School — 1957 — Russia launched the world’s first man-made satellite, Sputnik 1. The Space Race was on, and America was losing.
Five years later, with a mechanical engineering degree from Georgia Tech in his hand, Littles joined the competition. Over the next half-century, the Moultrie native helped the United States put a man on the moon, develop a reusable space shuttle and establish a space station.
“I got into the program very early,” Littles recalled. “It was a very exciting time.”
