"Heard Around Town" is written by Editors Tom & Cathey Carney and reprinted from Old Huntsville Magazine. Here is the October 2006 column with all the gossip around town:

We love seeing our favorite bulk mail postal workers at the Governor's Drive Post office. That good-lookin' Greg Williamson loves Huntsville's history, and Tom McKee is just a sweetheart whom we look forward to seeing each month.

Happy 42nd Anniversary to Louie & Jane Tippett !

And they still get along after all those years!

While at Huntsville Hospital recently we met a lovely lady, Carol Campbell, who is a nurse there. In her spare time she raises English Bulldogs and just enjoys life.

It was good to run across Deputy Sheriff Brent Patterson at a football game in Hazel Green. He is the son of the ex sheriff, Joe Patterson ", and just a nice guy!

It was great visiting with Al Wiggins recently. Al is running for the office of District 21 State Representative and is very involved with the Alzheimer's Association.

Does anyone remember the Epoch Club for teenagers? We heard that name the other day and wonder if any of our readers remember it; used to be just south of Star Market at 5 Points.

"Katybelle " is one of the sweetest baby girl nicknames I've heard in a while.

It was great to catch up with Kay Cornelius recently, having dinner at Redstone Village. She and her sweet husband Don , are residents there.

Dick and Karen Maroon are the best back alley neighbors you can ask for, and they're both great cooks!

Happy birthday to pretty Amanda Stolz of Hazel Green, who just turned 18.
