Cathey Carney has taken over the old "Coffee Talk Column" that Aunt Eunice used to write for years in Old Huntsville Magazine . It's now called "Heard on the Street." Cathey has given me permission to reprint it here. So you can find it every month on the Huntsville site. Here's all the "gossip" around town as seen & heard by Tom & Cathey Carney:
Bob Nathan and his lovely wife Carolyn recently went on a trip to St. Louis hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army.
A big happy 4th birthday to Hannah Troup , daughter of Stef and John Troup.
Congratulations are in order for Milton Lamb and his publication, The Valley Planet . The paper turned a year old in July and they're still going strong!
Terry's Pizza is as familiar to many Huntsvillians as a cup of coffee in the morning. Terry's just celebrated their 45th anniversary here in Huntsville, owned by Lou Pejza. Congratulations to Lou and all of his employees in their 3 locations!
We recently had occasion to talk with David Knapp , of Total Handling Equipment Handling Company, of Madison. It was good to see him!
At Furniture Factory recently we sat with our good friend Mike Mitchell , who has worked at NASA for the past 14 years. His pretty daughter Anna is 16 years old, a junior at Huntsville High, and likes to drive around with Dad in his red Mercedes convertible!
That same night we talked with June Morgan who works at Eyecare Associates in Jones Valley. We talked with Kimberly Camp as well.
All the partiers were well cared for by bartenders Laura Stone and Stacy Bryant - other than the heavy rain it was a perfect night on the outside patio.
It was good to talk with Tony Farmer and Lou Walker last week.
Jean McIntosh is sure proud of her new granddaughter Melody Jean Albritton (love that name) as are the parents, Richard & Lynn Albritton . Melody joins brother Bryce , who's 3, and sister Audrey , 6.
A large group of folks turned out early for the WAVE on Sparkman and University drive, for Glenn Watson. David & Janet Milly were there, with Buddy & Bill Chapman, and Bill Poole among many others. Glenn was high atop the trees in a cherry picker adorned with a large American flag! By the time you are reading this, the election will be over and we'll know who our elected officials are.
Beth at Dr. David Whitworth' s dental office in Madison gave us some good advice - she said to be sure and always brush your gums AND your tongue with a soft toothbrush, along with your teeth! Gums stay healthy that way & your breath stays clean.
Happy birthday to Alexander Young , who just turned 6 in August and will be attending East Clinton school. His proud parents are Tom & Allen Young .
Russ Russell was looking good the other day - his Dad Bill Russell is a member of the Golden K Kiwanis and he is sure proud of his son!
We recently spoke with Ronnie Lenoir , that handsome guy who works for UPS . A lot of folks know him and think the world of him.
It was fun the other night at Black Water Hatties - it's always good to see Cynthia White, along with Margaret Poole and Danny George .
Bonnie Johnson and her family, who live in Memphis, are sure proud of their new grand daughter Hope Kirby . The parents are Todd & Linda Johnson, also in Memphis, and the little baby joins her three and a half year-old brother, Hayla.
It was great to hear Curtis J. Hall, Pat McQuiston & T. A. Miller recently. They form a band that plays regularly at the End Zone. They had everyone up and dancing that night and Curtis kept us in stitches!
We saw Paula and Bill Ferguson last week in Fayetteville - they haven't changed since the 80's and still have many friends in Huntsville!
Dan Schmit , weather guy for WAFF, has been not feeling well lately and we wish him a speedy recovery.
A special hello to our friend Pete Fleming , who really loves Huntsville's history!

John Rader, Kerry Pinkerton, Phyllis Rogers, Dale Cassidy, Cathey Carney, Frank Smith, Lee Rhoads, Gary Hill, Jack Batchelor, Joan Priest & Bob McCoy are some of the friends who gathered. Russ Letson was the guy who finally turned out the lights!
A special Hello to J. B. Tucker, Mayor of Hurricane Creek , and his lovely wife Margaret . We hear that the fish have really been biting this year and JB caught them all!
