tveniuany, juay ana Donna Gail Hitt got Kerrie to the airport to fly to Florida to visit family. (Two days later, she had the flu; but by Friday, she was better. She says she misses Castleton; but she isn’t expected back until the 29th.)
Meanwhile, having deposited Kerrie on the plane, Judy and Donna Gail struck up conservation with a man who was forced to change plans to take the same flight. He said he had to play Tuesday night. He turned out to be Gregory, the bass guitar player from “Earth, Wind, and Fire”. This was no novelty for Judy. She says celebrities are always meeting her at National Airport. For instance, there was the time she ran into Bob Hope...
Speaking of celebrities, Shirley Frye Hitt makes no secret of the fact that Conway Twitty is her hero. She’s been known to hazard the traffic in the District of Columbia to catch his concerts. So it’s no surprise that she took Barbara Martin to King’s Dominion over the weekend to see Conway Twitty. (As you recall from our previous report, Barbara Martin bakes a chocolate eclair cake so delicious that people drool over it two weeks after it’s gone.) Next week, they’re going to hear Ronnie Milsap and Louise Mandrell, but you just know that won’t be quite the same as Conway Twitty.
The horseshoe pitching tournament on which we reported last week has degenerated into a debate, which is the polite way of saying a quarrelsome, cantankerous, contentious, verbal dispute. Naturally, all this arguing is good natured. Anyway, Alan Knighting asserts that he can beat his father-in-law three times out of four and that this correspondent was incorrect in calling Mitch Hitt and Kenny Settle the clear champions of Castleton holiday horseshoe pitching. However, as we go to press, no public rematch is scheduled.
Another contest has Castleton residents excited this week. Saturday’s tennis tournament at the home of Carol and Homer Henry attracted about 40 players from places as far as Washington, D. C., Washington, Va., Sperry ville, and Amissville. Host Homer Henry says Judge Snead and Ruth Baumgardner were the team to beat in mixed doubles. They did some pretty fancy racket work. The players drew numbers for partners. How many of the couples got together Sunday for another round, we don’t know.
We have the results of another contest. Castleton firefighters won the second
