G loria’s Spar Tree rebuilt, restaurant is now open for business
Nearly six months follow
ing the Flood of 1996, Gloria
and Keith A tchley were
putting the finishing touches
on the restoration of Gloria’s
Spar Tree Restaurant, deter
mined to have it open for the
Vernonia Friendship Jam
boree.
It was a tremendous effort
and an unbelievable fu lfill
ment on their part and the
many friends who came to
help.
The Atchleys lost, not only
the restaurant, but their home
as well, and struggled for
m onths...getting little o r no
help from FEMA or insurance.
Finally, after long, drawn-out
negotiations, they secured a
loan from the Small Business
Administration to help them
rebuild.
The pain for the Atchleys
and many others in the com
munity is not over and the im
pact of the flood will be with
them all for years to come.
Nevertheless, Gloria’s Spar
Tree Restaurant is together
again - completely redone -
with new wiring, plumbing,
w alls, floors, counter and
kitchen. One fixture hasn’t
changed, however: the inlaid
rock tables are back in place,
fascinating people with their
infinite designs. Beside that,
Gloria and her staff are sm il
ing, waiting to resume the
high quality of food and ser
vice that has been their hall
mark for years.
Loft to right, Gloria Atchley, Bobby Jo Harmon, Barb McKedy and Willie Brewer are ready
to serve you.
