"Heard Around Town" is written by Editors Tom & Cathey Carney and reprinted from Old Huntsville Magazine. Here is the December 2005 column with all the gossip around town:

It was great to catch up with that great bartender at Judge Craters, Kevin Weil. He was taking good care of lots of folks the night we saw him, including Louie & Jane Tippett and Pat Edwards .

We neighbored with Hilda Stutzman and Ron English recently, at MAB Paints. They have each worked there, in that location, for 32 years! Ron is an amazing musician who used to play with Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie Rich, George Jones and other greats. And Hilda is the sweet lady who greets everyone who does business with them.

Don Howie was a wonderful man to know. He died at age 47 after battling cancer. Our love goes to the family and many friends, who will miss him so much.

Emily Faith Tallant turns one year old Dec. 7, and her parents Pam Halcome and Bruce Lee Tallant are so proud of her. Her Nana and Pappa are Joan & Stacy Hatfield . Happy Birthday Emily!

Cheryl Tribble , of Atlanta, and her mom Barbara Fortner , from California, recently visited Huntsville on their annual trek to our city. Barbara, not from the south, is truly Scarlett in her heart, and they both love Huntsville and its people. Cheryl recently retired from Hewlett-Packard Co . and we are trying to convince her she needs to take it easy for a while!

It was good to see Seg & Anita Parks recently. Anita is a gorgeous lady! Their daughter Sheila is married to Glenn Brooks , and we heard that Glenn's sister Barbara Moyers has good news - her sister Becky Foster and hubby Jake Foster are moving here from Daphne, Al. Welcome!

Ann Speck , of Huntsville, recently told me that in the Mississippi coastal areas devastated by Katrina the two items that women are asking for is (1) a Bible, and (2) a cookbook . These people lost everything in the disaster and feel that if they had these two items they could start up again. So Ann is taking cookbooks down to many folks down there. It's amazing what people ask for, when they have lost everything. Ann's leading an effort to get people to donate used or new cookbooks, and more information about this will be in the news soon.

Happy birthday to J. M. O'Neal of Paint Rock! That handsome man just turned 85! Come see us!
