"Heard Around Town" is written by Editors Tom & Cathey Carney and reprinted from Old Huntsville Magazine. Here is the January 2006 column with all the gossip around town:

Happy Birthday to Mary Dudley of Huntsville, from her good friend Peggy Hutson!

It was good seeing Regina Sanders the other day, working at In Bloom on Pratt Avenue. She sure is one hard-working lady!

Happy Birthday to Chuck Owens ! He's the best Dad a girl can have!

We were so sorry to hear of the death of Lou Pejza, manager of Terry's Pizza. Billy Schaaf , manager, said Lou was at work every single day and it doesn't seem right without him there.

We were so sorry to learn of the death of Joan Murchie who always had a hug and a big smile for everyone. Archie Murchie was the lucky man who was her husband for the past 65 years. We know her family and friends will miss her very much.

While having dinner recently with Sherri Williams , of Pleasures, we met Jim St. Clair at Bonefish. He is from Norcross, Ga. but looks forward to his frequent travels to Huntsville.

Jean McIntosh's mom Dorothy Lindenschmidt, of Evansville, Indiana has a very interesting birthdate - 1/11/11. She still drives to church and the library. Happy 95th birthday to you!

I couldn't let the year go without saying a "Happy Birthday" to my sweet husband Tom Carney . He sure gets better with age!

Marie Hewett, Louie & Jane Tippett, Rene Forten and Lloyd Garrison hosted their annual Christmas bash at the Elk's Club on Franklin. So many people were there including Charlie Cox, Danny Banks, Doug Smoot , and Robert Madison . Also there were Dieter & Sonja Schrader, Hall Bryant and Cecil Ashburn.

It was great catching up with Lynda Hall, Tax Collector, and friend Andrea Reeves from UAH. Lynda has to have one of the prettiest smiles in Huntsville!

A special hello to Robert Luna who sure knows a lot of Huntsville history. Another friend, Nolan Myrick , who lives in Fayetteville now, is also a great story teller.

We recently heard from our dear friends Alan and Rhonda Warren , who now live in Michigan with handsome son Garrett . Alan was a popular photographer for the Huntsville Times for years. They really miss Huntsville and say Hello to all.

Betty Davis wants to wish her aunt Jean Pitsinger a happy birthday. Jean is turning 91 and is very proud of that. Congratulations!
