Kathleen Kemp , of Options, told us that her father-in-law Barney Kemp, 83 years old, recently had a bad fall and broke his kneecap - we sure hope he gets to feeling better really soon.

Jean Honyotski , who works at the Church St. ABC store, lives in Elkmont, Al. but loves Huntsville. She still has that "Yankee" accent but her friends love her anyway!

Ollie White sure is proud lately. Her beautiful granddaughter Wykena Jackson recently learned that she'll undergo her residency as a medical doctor at Carraway Methodist Medical Center, her top choice. Her boyfriend Andre Scott is happy too!

Starfish was really hopping recently. We talked with that handsome bartender Luke O'Neal , and spent time with Jennifer Daniel , whose husband Jason is chef at Starfish.

Bob Haydon told us he is having a birthday May 20 and will be 62 years old - he looks like he's 50! We want to know what vitamins he's taking!

Joyce Russell told us that New York Life Ins. Company has just celebrated their 160th birthday. Joyce is managing partner for the company here locally and told us that NYL started in Alabama in 1849, and has been part of Huntsville since the 1970's.

Boy, didn't Shelly Haskins, city editor for the Huntsville Times, do a great job on their recent Bicentennial edition! We're definitely saving our copy!

It was great to see Curtis Ramey recently --he was a judge in Huntsville for years and now lives in Texas. He was visiting here with his beautiful wife Edwina.

There are several birthdays coming up at Garden Cove among the employees. Ricky Coley works in Produce, Raymon Hernandez is in Maintenance and Peggy Quillivan is in the Bulk department and all will be a year older! Andi Underwood checked me out - I finally found some good-tasting liquid calcium there - and she says "hi" to all her friends. Her husband Mark works at Adtran.

The mayor of Hurricane Creek, J B Tucker, has been having medical problems lately but we bet they will clear up when the fish start biting!

What a great-looking couple we ran into recently - Jack Farrington , of Jack's Toy Shop, and his gorgeous wife Beverly , of Accents of the South, were having dinner recently when we met up with them and caught up. They have lots of traveling plans for the summer.

We saw our friend Judge Bruce Williams recently at the Kaffeeklatch. Huntsville is really lucky to have people like him serving on the bench.

Loretta Spencer, Zach Jacobsen, Kim Davis, General Turnmeyer and his lovely wife were among many celebrating the Grand Opening ribbon cutting ceremony for Redstone Village recently, along with Jack and Peggy Gilstrap , Ann Collins, Marie Melochick, and Chuck & Annelie Owens.
