The 31st historic Riverfront mural unveiling ceremony, honoring R.G. LeTourneau, will be at 10 a.m. Friday at the City Front, nearly completing the eight-year project spearheaded by Vicksburg Riverfront Mural Committee chairman Nellie Caldwell.

The mural is sponsored by C.H. and Jo Wilson of Vicksburg and friends of LeTourneau.

C.H. Wilson’s father, Clyde H. Wilson, was an original worker who helped build the LeTourneau Vicksburg plant in 1942 and then became president of LeTourneau Marines for 20 years until his retirement in the mid-1990s.

E.C. Loflin Jr., retired head of engineering at LeTourneau, will be the guest speaker.

Loflin worked with LeTourneau for more than 60 years.

Nancy Bell, Riverfront Committee historian, will give the history of LeTourneau.

The final mural unveiling of the 32nd mural depicting Jitney-Jungle and the Glass Kitchen will be at 10 a.m. May 29, and a reception after is scheduled at the Art Park to celebrate the completion of the mural project.
