“Hello, Darlin’!”
That’s the best song Conway Twitty was singing at King’s Dominion on July 24th. At least that’s what Shirley Frye Hitt thought and she felt like he was singing it just for her. But then so did Mildred Leake and Josephine Jenkins. They say they had good seats and saw lots of people they knew. They even met a man in Richmond who had been to Twitty City, Tennessee. “That’s where I’d like to go one day,” Shirley says, “I don’t care if he’s there or not.”
Of course it would be nicer if Conway Twitty were there cause like we told you last month, Conway Twitty is her hero. She loves him like Chuckie Frye loves Barbara Martin’s chocolate eclair cake, like Aunt Michele loves the way Joe Boucher can cook a turkey on a wood stove. So it’s no surprise that Shirley’s ready to charter a bus if possible to take everyone available to Manassas on August 21 to hear Conway Twitty. She’s seen him about ten times, she says, and even got to talk to him once about 15 years ago back when she first started going to his concerts.
She’s got the tickets and she says Bev Settle and Barbara Martin and Donna Gayle will go. Judy Hitt might except the concert’s the same day as the county fire and rescue association annual picnic.
The other big fire and rescue date is August 16. That’s when the first Carl Bischoff memorial CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) class will be held at the Castleton firehall. Folks have until Monday to call volunteers James Grigsby, Mary Frances Fannon, Marjorie Exton, or Diane Bruce to pre-register. Of course, you can also call Pipsy Bischoff. She’s donating the books and helping to sponsor the course so more people in Rappahannock will know how to use lifesaving skills before the rescue squad gets there. The class will meet on August 16, 19, and 20. James Grigsby will be teaching it and we heard in the hills over the weekend that if anyone should be nominated for Castleton’s citizen of the year it should be him for all the things he does to help his neighbors. But for some people, being good just comes naturally.
