Calvin S “Runt” Powell

Calvin S “Runt” Powell, was the first citizen of Halifax county to be honored, by having a bridge named after him. I never met the man, but I do recall stopping in his store at least once, in one of my many journeys. I did a little research after seeing the bridge and taking some pictures
