The program would consist of getting eight to 10 children and their parents together from around Natchez to volunteer to work on projects at the golf course. “I have played here since I was a kid,” said Lucien, now a Chief Engineer in Robotics for NASA. “It is a beautiful course, but these are the kind of projects that take it to the next level.” (Sam Gause/ Natchez Democrat)
