Crime report
In Saturday’s edition, the Observer erroneously identified the events of an incident at a house on East Berrien Avenue in Ellenton that took place Thursday. Lee Miller was dragged off a couch and into the yard by a male acquaintance and hit in the back of the head and forehead with an unknown object, causing a laceration to the back of his head. He refused treatment at the scene but was later taken to Colquitt Regional Medical Center for treatment by a family member. We apologize for the error.
New Elm Centennial
In last Sunday’s edition, the contact e-mail for the Centennial Celebration at New Elm Baptist Church was incorrectly listed. The correct email address is wasuda@hotmail.com. We apologize for the error.

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.” -
