We all worry
about the farmers and their crops. The
peach trees suffered with this late frost. We all hope and pray all will be
well. Our community relies on the agriculture business to survive and they are
an integral part of our town, our county, our state, and our future. When we see our food we see our economy and
our community.
Again I want
to thank all for the help with the Market on the Ridge. So far the response has been great. We always need to improve so do not mind
letting us know what we can do to make all better. We will have the Friends of Ridge Spring
meeting at the Episcopal Church on the Ridge’s (Grace Church’s) Parrish House
at 5:00 on April 17th. All
are invited.
Steve Hendrickson,
principal trumpet for the National Symphony Orchestra at Kennedy Center in
Washington, will be featured in a program at Spann Church in Ward Wednesday,
April 9 at 7:00 PM. There will be trumpet
selections and congregational singing accompanied by trumpet and piano. Kathy
Kneece Long will play the piano and Pastor John Kneece will lead the
singing. Spann UMC is located at 150 Church
Street in downtown Ward. All are
welcome. For more information call
803.430.1314.
There will be
an estate auction in front of 202 Dubose Street on Sat, April 5 beginning at 9:00 AM.
The next Harvest Festival meeting will be April
8.
The OUR SUNDAY BEST TALENT SHOWCASE will be
next Sunday April 13th at 400 PM at the Saluda Theater. Special performances by local artists and is
sponsored by The Helpful Hands Community Mission in Ridge Spring SC. Grand prize in $100.00 and a $2.00 donation
at the door will be appreciated. Children 16 and under will be free.
Next we have the Magnolia Ridge Antique and Art
Gathering, the RS Volunteer Firemen’s Benefit, and then the Peach Tree 23 Yard
sale. Check out Magnolia Ridge at http://magnoliaridgesc.com/Antique_Gathering.php and both events can be found on Facebook. Check them both out.
The Alumni of RSM High from years 1956 to 1968
are having their big reunion May
24. You need to purchase tickets in
advance. We are trying to keep costs
down and we need to let the caterers know exactly how many there will be
attending. Contact me for help in
getting in touch with your class representative if you are interested. Contact
me, Harriet at 803.480.1207.
From David
Marshall James: A super shout-out to Doris
Day on her 90th birthday, this Thursday, April 3rd! The Big
Nine-Oh! Just finished “Doris Day: Her Story” by A.E. Hotchner, a
fully-authorized memoir first published in 1975. Parts of it are harrowing (an automobile
crash that shattered a leg when she was 13; she was in a cast for 18 months), a
psychopathic first husband who held a gun to her stomach when she was pregnant
with her first and only child (the now-deceased Terry Melcher), and a third
husband who bilked her out of her fortune.
She later won a $22 million judgment from his business partner, spent
almost a decade tied up in countersuits and appeals, and was finally awarded $6
million.
Along the way
she became the No. 1 film star of the 1950s and 1960s, charting a string of No.
1 hit songs, including “Sentimental Journey,” “Secret Love,” and “Que Sera,
Sera.” She could have had a great
concert/Broadway career, but has never enjoyed live performing, owing to
extreme nerves. In the memoir, she
recalls touring the South with Bob Crosby and His Bobcats during the early
1940s, performing at college proms, and wishing she was a student leading a
“normal” life, on her way to a “normal” marriage. Listen for DD on cable’s ME TV, which is
showing limited episodes of her TV show, from the late 1960s and early 1970s,
and on TCM, on which she provides the occasional audio reminiscence.

favorite book. Many characters from these books will be represented. Please
