SUNNY 'SONNY' DAY — Clear skies and a cool breeze added to the special campus ceremony Friday morning that honored the career of former congressman G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery (second from left). The 1943 MSU graduate and longtime veterans advocate helped unveil his life-sized statue at the southwest corner of the Drill Field. Also speaking were (from left) Rep. Chip Pickering--who succeeded Montgomery in the 3rd District--MSU President Charles Lee and Raymond sculptor Tracy H. Sugg.
