Recently while lunching at Chef's Table, Joyce Russell of New York Life was spotted there enjoying the great Ahi Tuna and superb desserts.

The Rison-Dallas Association recently got together at the Jackson Way Baptist church for their reunion of Rison School students and Dallas Mill workers/relatives. Hundreds of people were there, including Jane & Louie Tippett, Mayor Loretta Spencer, John Walker, Robert Madison, and Ann Schrimsher. Ann just published a great cookbook chock full of memories of the old mill days, that you can sample on our recipe page this month.

A big hello to our good friends Dub and Edna Pierce , who lived in Guntersville before moving to Florida. We miss you!

Sherri Williams , owner of Pleasures, celebrated a fun birthday during the month with many friends including Angie & Craig Story , and her Dad Randy Villines who was visiting here from Kentucky.

Martin Burke recently had an accident at home and we want to send our love and best wishes to him and his wife Eddress , who reside at Redstone Village.

Dr. Charles Smith took care of Huntsville pets for years on Holmes Ave., side by side with his sweet wife Ann Riley Smith . So we were saddened to hear that Ann had passed away recently after a brave battle against cancer. Our condolences to their many friends and family.

Congratulations to a great lady -Laura Cheatwood - who has lived in Huntsville all her life and turns 90 in September!

Darryl Goldman and his sweet wife Linda recently hosted friends at their beautiful home over the mountain. A good time was had by all!

It sure will be interesting to see what develops with the illegal alien issue recently brought up by Glenn Watson at a City Council meeting. Fireworks, at a minimum.

Happy Belated birthday to Joe Conti. Poor guy had to work on his big day but his wife Peggy and kids Joey, David Adam, Alicia, and Amanda all had a great time celebrating! Peggy and Joey also celebrated birthdays during September.

We hear that lots of people are planning on attending the old-fashioned Trade Day on the Square , organized by Harrison Brothers and the Lions Club . It starts at 8 a.m. on Saturday Sep. 9 so get there early and have a great time! There'll be lots of food, drinks, crafts, antiques, etc. and be sure to wear comfortable shoes!

Well, that's about all for this month but always remember how lucky we are to live in Huntsville, Alabama!
