Are Any Famous People From Your Hometown?  |
| |
| I'm sure that the majority of you have probably never heard of Jasper, Alabama, which is my hometown. There are a few famous people from here, though. You have probably heard of "George Smith Lindsay". If the name doesn't ring a bell, he is a comedian and he played "Goober" on "The Andy Griffith Show" for many years. He also played on "Hee Haw",which was a country music show that also featured a lot of hayseed humor out of Nashville, Tennessee. He is from here. If you watched any of these shows very much, I'm sure you heard him talk about Jasper quite a bit. He was talking about Jasper, Alabama. George also went to high school with my brother. Also, Tallulah Bankhead was from here. She is an old actress who was in a lot of old movies. She died in 1964. I think that's right. She's been dead a long time, anyway. She was well known for calling everybody "dahling!" Her daddy, "William Bankhead", was a United States Senator. Before my family and I moved into the house where I live now, we lived down the street from the house where Tallulah grew up. It's a big house and very pretty! Very antebellum! Another famous person who lived here for a short time is "Sandy Posey". She was a singer, popular in the '60s. If you were a teenager in that era, you might remember her. You might still remember her if you were not a teenager in that era, lol . She had hits with songs like "Born A Woman", "Single Girl", "I Take It Back", to name a few. You can check her out on youtube. The last I heard, she is either living in Memphis or Nashville. I don't remember which. Are there any famous people from your hometown? | | | | | |

| | How about notorious people? Yes, most of the places I've lived have at one time or another been the homes of a few well-known people, but if I said who they are, then you might figure out who and where I am and I'd prefer to remain anonymous. | | | | | | |

| | I bet youall are not, either. I looked up Martin, Tennessee on youtube not too long ago and it looks like a nice little town. Whoever made this video went to Walmart there and talked to one of the cashiers. One lady (I don't remember who she was) talked about it being a nice little farming community. I will have to watch it again and catch these people's names. Then I will ask you if you know them. It sounds like my kind of town. Kathy. | | | |

| | Now that you live in Las Vegas, I'm sure a lot of famous people came from there. Are you originally from Salt Lake City? I thought you might be since you thought he was from there. I used to enjoy The Osmonds very much. I used to watch "The Donnie & Marie" show every week. That was so good! Thank you for responding and have a good night. Kathy. | | | |

| | Hi anniefannie! I never have heard of Ned Ray McWheater. I remember Winfred Dunn, though. I went to David Lipscomb University and he was in office when I was there. It was David Lipscomb College when I was there and that was back in the '70s. I didn't graduate, though. I learned about a lot of small towns when I was at Lipscomb but I don't think I ever heard of Palmersville. I looked it up on the map and I noticed it was near Dunlap. I remember Dunlap, Tennessee.. I didn't see any big cities near it. What's the nearest big city to Palmersville? Do you know? Kathy. | | | |
