From the very beginning, he decided and was determined to play in the State Tournament before or during his senior year, even though he was new to the game of golf. Michael had the dream and has put in the hard work to make it happen and it paid off this season. He started this season out the right way, by coming in as low medalist 7 out of 10 district matches. During the district tournament on September 25th at Henry Horton Michael placed 4th out of 52 players. This qualifi ed him to compete in the regional tournament also played at Horton on October 1st. After teeing off on hole one at the regional Michael realized that the greens were putting rough and hard to predict and did not putt as well as he wanted, but when Frost turned to play the back none holes you could see the determination in his eyes to buckle down and make up for some bad breaks in his putting game. He knew that he had to play par golf the rest of his match to get close to advancing to state, so Frost went to work making long drives, great shots to the green and fi nishing out the holes with precision putts. Almost at the end of his match Michael was ‘even-par’ for the back nine going into hole 18. On the last hole he hit a very long drive but the ball landed next to a tree on the right of the fairway leaving an impossible shot toward the green. Frost had to punch out to the fairway but made a smart save for one over par for the last hole giving Michael a very solid score of 77 for the day. This was the score he needed. His 77 ended up being 3rd pick as an individual for the State Tournament to be played at Old For Park on October 9th and 10th. Michael Frost is the 3rd golfer to ever make it to the State in Eagleville School history. He is a great example that if we set our goals in life, stay focused, work hard and keep the faith, we can accomplish great things. He said he is looking forward to the great experi- ence of competing on the state level and is ready to “enjoy the ride”. On October 9th and 10th Michael went to play in the two day state event and said it was just as exciting as he expected. There were several hundred spectators at- tending and that made it a very wonderful experience and honor for him to represent his school, community and county. Michael was the only golfer from Ruther- ford County to play in the A/AA state tour- nament. Frost said although he did not shoot as well as he had hoped, his focus is still on the fact the he reached his goal of making it to state and will look back on it as a very special time in his life. Michael hives thanks to his family and to all who have encouraged him and helped him in his games but gives his greatest thanks to God. Michael said “without his relationship with Jesus Christ he would be nothing.” The people of Eagleville are proud of you Michael and wish you the best in all you do, and by all means, always “Enjoy the Ride”. 8 Page EAGLEVILLE TIMES A Step Back in Time

Often As a child, Patsy sang in the local Baptist church choir, later singing on local this involved appearing at drive-in theaters, then in their heyday. For a few songs before the movie, they were typically paid $50 - $75 each, the equivalent of about a thousand dollars today. In March 1964, a year after Patsy’s death, Jim did the fi rst of his many radio shows remembering Patsy, a tradition he continues with special tribute events each year at the Troubadour marking her birthday and her death. On Sunday afternoon during the Labor Day Weekend, the “Celebrating Patsy Cline” event is held at the Troubadour Park in Berkley Springs, West Virginia. Jim and his wife Bertha invite Patsy’s family and musicians who played in the past with Jim and Patsy to take part in the event. Many members of Patsy’s fan club also attend for an afternoon of great music. In 1953 Patsy married Gerald Cline of Maryland from whom she took her stage name. In 1956 she divorced Cline and in 1957 she married Charlie Dick of Win- chester, Virginia, and had two children; Julie born in 1958 and Randy born 1961. Charlie, Randy, Julie and her family presently live in Nashville, Tennessee. In the mid-1950’s, Patsy often performed with the Kountry Krackers, a popular regional band. “This band was the one for Patsy”, Jim McCoy said. “It gave her Patsy, Julie, Randy and Charlie great experience and they played the kind of music she needed”. Sonny Lonas, a EAGLEVILLE TIMES Page 9 FANS STILL REMEMBER PATSY CLINE By Bobbie Sue Shelton-Lonas local Eagleville resident who grew up in Winchester, Virginia was a member of the Kountry Krackers at this time and later moved to Nashville with Charlie and Patsy. Patsy’s fi rst recording contract was with Four Star Records in 1954 –1960 and later with Decca 1960 –1963. According to the biography “Joltin’ Jim” McCoy’s old friend Ernest Tubb also recorded for Decca and helped pave the way for her there. Decca was a major force in the country music of the 1950’s and 1960’s. From Kitty Wells in the early ‘50s to Brenda Lee and then Patsy and Loretta Lynn. Decca put a lot of effort into promoting its women. Patsy’s fi rst hit record; “Walking After Midnight” was recorded on November 8, 1956 but for some reason the record company didn’t release it at once. On January 21, 1957 Patsy got the opportunity to perform on the Arthur Godfrey Talent Show, and there she sang “Walking After Midnight”. It was a total success as Patsy froze the famous applause meter. Soon after her appearance at the Arthur Godfrey Talent Show, the record company released “Walking After Midnight” in a hurry.

L-R: Charlie Dick, Jim McCoy, Willie McKee and Sonny Lonas (Willie and Sonny are former band members of Jim McCoy) Despite the success on the talent show her next big hit “I Fall To Pieces” wasn’t recorded until November 1960, and according to many, was the turning point in her career. After that, the hits were coming regularly. “Crazy”, “She’s Got You” and “Leavin’ On Your Mind” to mention a few. Patsy and her family moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1959 and she became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1960. One of the greatest singers in the history of country music, Patsy Cline also helped construct a trail for female singers to assert themselves as an integral part of the country music industry. One of Patsy’s biggest hits, “Crazy” was recorded just after she was in a very bad car accident. On June 14, 1961 Patsy and her brother Sam were involved in a head-on car collision in front of Madison High School in Nashville. The impact sent Patsy into the windshield and nearly killed her. Due to the car accident, Patsy got a visible scar across her forehead. Patsy also had a number of big hits released after her death, among them “Faded Love” and “Sweet Dreams (Of You)”. In “Faded Love”, if you listen carefully at the end, especially when she breathes before the fi nal word, she sounds as if she has almost started to cry. It’s been specu- L-R: Sonny & Bobbie Sue Lonas with Julie Fudge (Daughter of Patsy & Charlie Dick) at lated that this could have been because the song was so close an event in Winchester, Virginia, Labor Day Weekend. to her own life at the time, or maybe it just shows Patsy’s genuine feeling and emotion.

Margaret’s rossword Helpful Hints C Place fresh or dried mint in the bottom of a cup of hot chocolate for a cool and refreshing taste. Seeds and nuts, both shelled and unshelled, keep best and longest when stored in the freezer. Unshelled nuts crack more easily when frozen. Nuts and seeds can be used directly from the freezer. To keep the super glue cap from sticking after being used, place a thick coating of petroleum jelly inside the cap threads to keep from gluing shut.
