These dear people from Birmingham
were in town for their son’s basketball tournament. They were Tom and Krista Gallimore and were
joined by Christine Poe and Pam Owens.
They really had a great time. Their
son was Tyler and last year their team was #3 across the nation!
Several of you had asked me about
my long-time friend Ozell Brown who retired from the U.S. Marshals. Ozell
and his wife Becky live in Scottsboro and are doing well.
Their daughter Missy is married and lives in Georgia and have made
Ozell and Becky proud grandparents.
A big welcome to Kathleen
Robertson and Cheryl Tribble whon recently visited us.
Both of them thought Huntsville was absolutely beautiful!
We know that Huntsville is a well-kept secret, don’t we!
Mr. W. L. Halsey
and his lovely wife Miriam came to breakfast one Sunday - first time
since last June. He had been quite
sick but is doing much better and was looking good.
You know I was brought up in a
family of 12. There are only 5 of
us living now. We all got together recently and it was wonderful.
My sister Naomi lives in Bradenton, Florida.
My brother John lives at Horton, Alabama, my oldest sister Ruth
lives with her daughter Betty. My
sister Elizabeth joined us as well.
We had the best time.
I’ve made some new friends with
Bill Fowler, Nancy Siniard and Molly Bailey from Totalcom Marketing
and Summit Media. I also met
Saddler Evans, Andy Wilkins, Paul McDade and Randy Reed.
So good to see fine young people like these!
I was so happy to see my old
friend Steve Bzdell at breadfast the other day. He told me that his son John
Bzdell (owner of the Rack Cafe) is training to compete in a 100 mile bycycle
race for the Leukemia Society. It's wonderful thing to see people get so
involved in helping others.
Congratulations to Sheriff Whisante on the great job
you’re doing - we appreciate you more than words can say. Our Mayor Loretta Spencer is working so hard and I
don’t know how she keeps up the energy. Although
it’s a long time til the next election, I hear she’ll be running again.
Among everything else, she has done such a beautiful job with the flowers and
plants around the downtown area.
Speaking of flowers, those of you
who haven’t been to Bennett’s on North Parkway are in for a treat - George
Bennett has flower beds already made up - just to walk through the
greenhouses and listen to the music (live) is so relaxing.
Congratulations to George and his team!
Lana Fisher
grew up here near the restaurant and she ate with me lots as a teenager.
She married a Davis but all along the way she would drop by and
eat with me. She had 2 fine
children, but now Lana is a widow. She
came to see me this week and brought her 91-year old mother, Mrs. Jesse
Fisher, to see me. Love you
Lana!
So glad to see “Po Boy”
restaurant here on Andrew Jackson being so successful - they stay packed!
Donna and Marie - I’m so proud of you!
So sorry our friend Larry Mullins isn’t feeling good these days
- get better, Larry - we’ve been here a long time!
Congratulations to Dr. Craig
Thorstad and his staff (at the Center for Sight) on their new building.
It is really beautiful. Saw Loyd
at Outback Steakhouse the other day. He
works really hard and asked me to say hello to all of you for him.
I thought I didn’t have anything to write about but now I can’t stop! I’d better go - remember that I love you all and come see me!
