KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida — During the month of January, 1967, I had the 4-7 a.m. watch at the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building for the Apollo One crew’s High Altitude Chamber tests. The “watch” occurred at the end of my shift and was interesting in that it was an opportunity to greet the crew members as they walked from their quarters to the suiting area. The Apollo One crew went through the various evolutions they would be making on their mission to test the Command Service Module prior to the first trip around the moon. Aside from greeting the Astronauts the interesting part of the watch was the opportunity to examine the Command Module Procedures Simulator (CMPS) while it was in the High-Altitude Chamber. “Examine” consisted of standing in the white room and peering into the CMPS and wondering what the function each gauge and switch performed.
greasy donut and jawboning with other workers headed for the Space Center. The rest of the ride was uneventful as I crossed the St. John’s River. Traffic was moving smoothly on the NASA parkway and as I held up my badge Security Guard Hatcher waved me through the Gate. I pulled into the parking lot at Fire Station #1 thinking it was going to be just another day of routine training since no standbys were scheduled at the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building (MSOB). The MSOB (Now known as the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building) is a five-story structure in the Industrial Area of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Its facilities includes Astronauts living quarters, Apollo mission simulators and a suit-up preparations room. The Apollo One crew would be at Pad 34 at Cape Kennedy for a preflight test for Apollo 204. The mission was to be the first crewed flight of Apollo, and we would have a lot of support activity at KSC between then and February 21, the scheduled launch date. Some of us assigned early rest were playing pinochle when a Friday January 27, 1967 It was a beautiful late January morning with temperatures in little before 7 pm Dale Naugher, KSCFD Dispatcher, announced the 50’s and traffic on Route 50 was light. I made my usual stop “All Crew Chiefs report to Dispatch Immediately! at the donut shop in Christmas, FL, for a second cup of coffee, a Continued on page 10

Kennedy, during his Nov. 16, 1963 visit to the then-Cape Canaveral spaceport, is shown speaking with George Low, NASA’s chief of manned spaceflight; Mercury astronauts Gordon Cooper and Gus Grissom; and G. Merritt Preston, chief of the Manned Spacecraft Center. Grissom would lose his life four years later in the tragic fire that killed three astronauts while they were training for the Apollo I mission. The iconic space center would later be named in memory of the space-pioneering president who was assassinated in Dallas, Texas just six days after this photo was made. — NASA photo

Paging all crew chiefs was like sounding a fire alarm. Everyone on duty reported to the Dispatch office. Naugher said, “I don’t know what’s going on, but Security has dispatched three supervisors to the MSOB with orders to secure Astronaut Quarters.” After a few minutes we were back in the Day Room when Walter Cronkite interrupted the broadcast and announced “There has been a fire at Cape Kennedy involving a spacecraft.” The rest of the evening was spent listening to newscasts and Kennedy Space Center radio communications. What happened?” was on everyone’s mind and there was serious concern about the future of the space program. Little did I know this horrible event would result in significant changes that would impact my fire service career. The KSC workforce in 1967 was somewhere between 12,00015,000 and growing. All of us were excited about the future of the space program and our jobs. The Apollo One tragedy had everyone
on edge. The charred Apollo One Command Module was taken to the Kennedy Space Center and stored in a bonded facility where it was disassembled for the investigation. The investigation of the Apollo One fire was treated with the utmost secrecy by NASA and everyone associated with the fire. The fire extinguishers and equipment in the white room and on the swing arm were removed and stored under lock and key at KSCFD Fire Station #1. Clyde Ball and myself (Bill Killen) had the 0400-0700 standby at the MSOB during the high-altitude chamber runs for the Apollo One. Several times they provided an AVO report (Avoid Verbal Orders memo) to the Assistant chief regarding the accumulation of combustible in the capsule. NASA continued with the Apollo Program during the investigation and employment at Kennedy Space Center peaked in 1968, with more than 26,000 people working on the Apollo program. Continued on page 11

Significant changes were being made behind the scenes, especially within the Kennedy Space Center Fire Department. Roy Terry, Chief Training Officer was developing procedures and training manuals for the future Apollo Astronaut Rescue Team. The Apollo Astronaut Rescue team was established October 7, 1968 with volunteers from within the fire department. The volunteers and training staff assembled at the Training area and were briefed by Roy Terry who would serve as Team Commander and the Rescue Team would be led by Al Wozniak as Team Leader. Training was arduous and began with 30 minutes of calisthenics each morning followed by what began as a leisurely jog on Static Test Road towards Launch Pad 39. The pace increased until it was more than a jog, something close to a long-distance runner. Afternoon training focused on familiarization with the Command Service Module, Launch Umbilical Tower systems and features and training with hypergolic firefighting. The highlight of the afternoon training was touch football in sand. November was focused on egress drills extracting fill-in Astronauts from the Command Module. Fillin Astronauts were members of the fire department outfitted with used Astronaut suits. The mission was to extract all three Astronauts from the command module, remove their helmets, place an oxygen mask Continued on page 12

on them, place them on a stretcher chair and egress the white room in less than a minute. “Well what are we going to do with the Astronauts when we leave the white room?” was the number one question. We had three options, each one depending upon the severity of the situation and whether there was a danger of fire and/or explosion. Escort the Astronauts via elevator to the waiting M-113 personnel carriers at ground level if there was no danger; or take the slide wire to the base of the pad to waiting M-113 personnel carriers or take the elevator to A level and enter the slide tube to the hard room, designed to withstand the explosion of a Saturn V rocket. Since fire department personnel were intimately familiar with the Launch Umbilical Towers and the entrance to the Teflon coated slide tube, the big question was “When do we get to test the slide tube? By July 1970, national priorities had been realigned and, in
the harsh light of reduced funding, KSC’s work force was pared to 15,000. The fire department was not spared and several employees (last hired first fired) were furloughed. When clinical illnesses impacted preflight mission operations during Apollo 9 and 13, NASA recognized the need for some type of preflight health stabilization program. Prior to the launch of Apollo 13, Astronaut Mattingly, the prime Command Module Pilot for the mission and due to exposure to measles, was replaced. NASA implemented the Flight Crew Health Stabilization program. Bill Killen was designated the Primary Contact from the Kennedy Space Center Fire Department’ Astronaut Rescue Team for the Flight Crew Health Stabilization Program. The purpose of the Flight Crew Health Stabilization Program finally conceived and implemented was to minimize or eliminate the possibility of adverse alterations in the health of flight crews during the immediate preflight, flight, and postflight periods. continued on page 14

By far the most important means of preventing crew exposure to infectious diseases was to minimize exposure to personal contacts during the critical preflight period. The areas which could be visited by crewmembers were strictly limited and the number of individuals allowed contact with the crewmembers was reduced to slightly over one hundred people with mission-related responsibilities.
The medical surveillance program, initiated three months prior to launch, began with the taking of medical histories and other critical information from each primary contact. Each was then subjected to an extensive physical examination approximately 60 days prior to launch, and microbiological samples were obtained to identify carriers.

THE AMERICAN LEGION
100 YEARS ROGERSVILLE – Both the American Legion and Hawkins County’s American Legion Post 21 will turn 100 years old in the fall of this year. The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization. Focusing on service to veterans, servicemembers and communities, the Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. Membership swiftly grew to more than one million, and local posts sprang up across the country. Today, membership stands at more than two million in more than 13,000 posts worldwide. The posts are organized into 55 departments: one each for the 50 states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the Philippines.
Post 21 chartered in September, 1919
On Sept. 6, 1919, meanwhile, Hawkins County American Legion Post 21 was chartered at Pressmen’s Home, according to Post 21 First Vice-Commander Dennis Elkins, who has researched the post’s history. Post 21 had 15 members in 1919 and apparently met in a building at Pressmen’s Home. Among the post’s charter members, Elkins discovered, was none other than George L. Berry, who was president of the International Printing Pressmen’s and Assistants Union from 1907 The names of the charter members of American Legion Post 21 until his death in 1948. are on display at the post.

From page 20
Berry, who had been born in Hawkins County in the 19th century, had been left without a father as a young boy when his Deputy U.S. Marshal father, Thomas Berry, was murdered near his Hawkins County home. His parents had divorced before his father’s death and young George L. Berry soon was on his own traveling across the country. His travels took him south to Jackson, Mississippi, and west to St. Louis, Missouri, as well as to Nebraska. He was 16 when the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898 and he enlisted in a Mississippi military unit. The war ended before he saw any overseas service, however. Along the way, Berry became a lightweight prize fighter who fought as the “Tennessee Kid,” according to Henry R. Price’s “Hawkins County, Tennessee: A Pictorial History”. He also searched for gold in Nevada after it was discovered there in 1903. Berry eventually wound up in San Francisco and rose from “printer’s devil” to printing company superintendent. Along the way, he also became involved in the U.S. labor movement., eventually becoming president of a major printing-industry union. In 1909, Berry persuaded the International Printing Pressmen’s and Assistants Union to purchase the bankrupt Hale’s Red and White Sulphur Springs health spat in Hawkins County and to move the union’s headquarters there from Cincinnati, Ohio. The Pressmen’s Home name for the new union facility became official in 1910 when a U.S. Post Office opened there under the Pressmen’s Home name, according to Price’s book. Continued on page 22

In November, 1921, while representing the American Federation of Labor at the American Legion national convention in Kansas City. Berry impressed the Legionnaires sufficiently to be elected national First Vice Commander of the American Legion. Berry, who had been commissioned a major in the U.S. Army in WWII and had served in France as an officer in an engineer battalion that built roads and bridges, continued to be referred to as
Major Berry for the remainder of his life.
The ‘Hut’ was built in 1925
By 1925, American Legion Post 21’s membership had grown to 116 and members built a new meeting place, commonly referred to as the “Hut,” on East Main Street in Rogersville. The log structure was built with contributions and labor from its members, Elkins said.

The American Legion’s “Annex Building” at Pressman’s Home, (1919-1925). It was said that Maj. Berry had this building constructed for use as a convention venue. (Photo from the Henry R. Price collection). “The new clubhouse served its members faithfully until it was outgrown by vast numbers of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen who were returning from World War II.
New Post Home dedicated: War Memorial Building
In 1949, a new building to house American Legion Post 21 was built on East Main Street largely with funds appropriated by the Hawkins Co. Court (predecessor of the present Hawkins Co. Commission). The new, two-story brick building was dedicated as the War Memorial Building in honor of those who had served in WWI and WWII. When the new building was built, Post 21’s membership stood at 723. By 1953, the year the Korean War ended, membership had risen to 1,000. At one point in the late 1940s and early 1950s, American Legion Post 21 was “the largest rural American Legion Post in Tennessee, according to the history of the American Legion Department of Tennessee (1919 to 1953). The post also furnished a number of state and national American Legion officers over the years, including: Executive Committeeman E.A. Cope; District Commander B.L. Day; District Commander W. Max Ellis; District Commander Ray Hice; and National Vice-Commander George L. Berry. Down through the years, Post 21’s
commanders included some of Rogersville’s and Hawkins County’s leading citizens, including attorneys, educators, bankers and business leaders and political leaders. Among them were the late Reid Altom, a veteran of both world wars who also was Hawkins County Clerk and Master. The late banker (and coach) Lyons Hamblen, the late attorney J. Edgar Hyder, the later educator Ralph Anderson and the later real-estate leader C. Worley Richardson also led the post over the years. During the years after its completion in 1949, the Post 21 membership rented the building’s second floor to a variety of businesses and civic groups. Among other things, the second floor of the Post 21 building housed a skating rink, a bowling alley and venue in which the Rogersville Arts Council presented plays for a number of years. Post 21 derived revenue to support its monthly operations from renting out the building’s second floor down through the years. In 2017, however, the Arts Council ceased renting the second floor of the Post 21 building. That left Post 21 in something of a financial dilemma, but through aggressive fundraising and pursuit of grants, post was able to obtain the funds needed to make needed repairs to the second floor of the building and to install a new, metal roof in 2018.

THE EIGHT COUNTIES OF THE STATE OF FRANKLIN CIRCA 1786 (Today in Northeast Tennessee)
Spencer County
Welcome to
There is a small marker on the front lawn of the Hawkins County Courthouse, in Rogersville, that explains the history of our county. Many people may not be aware of how Hawkins County, Tennessee came to exist. Present-day Hawkins County is 570 square miles of land dissected by the Holston River. Once, the county was a part of one of Tennessee’s most intriguing historical events, the formation and dissolution of the “State of Franklin”. Prior to 1784, the land that would become Hawkins County, Tennessee, was the property of North Carolina. A number of “overmountain” residents, notably Arthur Campbell and John Sevier, felt that a new state should be formed west of the Appalachian Mountains. So it was that on August 23, 1784, four counties in western North Carolina declared their independence as the State of Franklin: Washington, Sullivan, Greene and Spencer. Spencer County was the area that is now Hawkins County. The new “state” would later expand with Wayne (modern Johnson and continued on page 31

Blount was appointed governor of the territory and early on stayed at the home of William Cobb near present day Rogersville. Many early government functions occurred there before Blount moved operations to Knoxville. 1796: The state of Tennessee is formed. Hawkins County finally becomes Hawkins County, Tennessee, keeping approximately the same boundaries as it had when it began as Spencer County, State of Franklin. Today historians refer to “The Lost State of Franklin”. There are still some street and businesses that are named for the “state” that narrowly missed being admitted to the union. So, to recap the history of modern If history had not unfolded as it Hawkins County, Tennessee: Pre 1784: The area was part of North Carolina, though some did, we could be living in Spencer County today! sections were controlled by Virginia. 1784-1788: The area was Spencer County, State of Franklin. Some prominent citizens included Thomas Henderson, Clerk of Spencer County Court and colonel of the militia, and William — By Randy Ball Cocke and Thomas King, representatives to the Franklin Assembly. 1786: The North Carolina legislature, operating parallel to the unofficial government of Franklin, forms Hawkins County, North Carolina. The boundaries were roughly the same as Spencer County. Hawkins County was named for North Carolina senator Benjamin Hawkins. Hawkins County was officially organized by 1787 and the county court met in the home of Thomas Gibbons near Rogersville. The Gibbons’ home served as the courthouse simultaneously under jurisdictions of both North Carolina and Franklin. 1790: The state of North Carolina relinquished what is now Tennessee to the US government. Hawkins County became part of the Territory of the United States South of the Ohio River. William Carter Counties), Caswell (later Jefferson and Hamblen), Sevier and Blount counties. The State of Franklin petitioned Congress to become the fourteenth state, and got seven votes from the thirteen states, but a two-thirds majority was required to become a state. In defiance of congress, Franklin survived as an independent entity with its own government for four years. A poor economy and attacks from Indians led Franklin to once again become part of North Carolina.

Honeybees
and Heritage Beekeepers of Hawkins County
Bee hives in the field. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Photo by Becky Johnson
Heritage Beekeepers is a resource for local beekeepers while educating the community on the joys, skills, and fruits of beekeeping.
A
s spring is upon us, we begin to notice the bees buzzing around, and members of Heritage Beekeepers of Hawkins County are preparing for their busy season. We tend to think of spring as the time when bees do their work of gathering the goodies and turning them into the sweet reward of luscious honey. Contrary to this popular belief, the honeybee actually works throughout the entire year in order to sustain it’s colony. On really warm winter days, bees will travel as far as eight miles from the hive to insure the colony has enough nutrients. President of Heritage Beekeepers, Becky Johnson, said during early spring when resources are plentiful, the bees bring back lots of pollen, nectar, and resins to the hive. Then, they communicate with the queen that it is a good time to expand the colony, and she begins to get serious by laying new eggs to increase the quantity of bees. Like the honeybees, beekeepers have a year-round job maintaining hives. Periodic inspections, maintenance, adding new hives, adding food for the bees, and collecting honey are just some of a beekeeper’s duties. Although beekeepers chores may vary, Becky compared beekeeping to caring for a cat or a dog. “Keeping bees is more work then a cat but less than a dog,” she said. “This only applies as a general description of the year in review. It also depends on the beekeeper and their personal preferences, and those vary wildly across the spectrum. There is no definitive way that is correct to keep bees.” Over the last decade, several different beekeepers approached various clubs in Hawkins County in hopes of bringing back a local beekeepers’ club that was once in existence many years ago. In June 2016, that persistence finally paid off, and Heritage Beekeepers was born. During the nearly three years of its life, the club has maintained an average of 60 members. Currently the group is led by President Johnson, along with six other board members: Ron Coleman, Vice President; Donna Dikeman, Treasurer; Wanda Coleman; Secretary, and members Dennis Ragosa, Tonya Katzin, and Ace Ely. Operating as a non-profit organization, the club’s mission is to serve as a resource for local beekeepers while educating the community on the joys, skills, and fruits of beekeeping. Other objectives include recruitment of new members and fostering interactions with the agricultural community and other beekeeping originations. Heritage Beekeepers follow through with their mission by encouraging youth participation, initiating relationships between beekeepers, public education, engaging in relationships with other bee entities, mentoring, spreading awareness, and creating volunteer opportunities.

“As president it is my duty to represent Heritage Beekeepers in all actions. I have always believed in proving your intentions through those actions. If I want people to get involved in any aspect of beekeeping, then I should too. I am honored and humbled to be a fellow member and friend to such a wonderful group of people.” — Becky Johnson
Members of Heritage and their community get together quite frequently to do routine yard maintenance as well as bee inspections at The Community Apiary and Pollinator Garden. This area was created to promote pollinator education and is the only one in upper east Tennessee. Free tours are provided.

Members often give back by participating in other volunteer organizations throughout the community, such as the Shepherd’s Center, the Arts Council, various schools, and more. Many also volunteer their time doing projects within the club. Helping with the community apiary and pollinator garden and tending booths at Heritage Days and the Hawkins County Fair are just some ways members help out. Heritage Beekeepers became a registered non-profit in 2016 in order to pursue grants and scholarships to better serve the club and community while making a positive impact nationwide. As a nonprofit, most of the operating funds come from membership dues; however, the club has received several grants along with fundraising support. Beginning this year, educational and training workshops will be offered to club members as a way to raise money while fulfilling the club’s mission. Heritage Beekeepers strives to continue to broaden education through alliances with other local organizations and schools through outreach to help teach all things honeybee. Encouraging beneficial plantings to other beekeepers and fellow advocates is of top priority to club members. They also hope to help change the future through their research partnerships with the University of TN and the national Bee Informed board. As a group, they will continue to work Continued on page 38

with different entities to ensure bee safety by teaching new methods to control vegetation while enhancing community education. Legislatively, the club would appreciate the chance to help mold new laws and procedures that directly impact honeybees. You don’t have to be a beekeeper to join Heritage Beekeepers. If you have an interest, you can join for the low membership fee of $25 per year for an entire family or choose from lower fees for single and youth memberships. Memberships include access to special parts of the website, discounted bee prices, equipment delivery, monthly newsletters, and hands on workshops that are only available to members.

Honey Facts ❋ Most honey found in stores is not local. ❋ Some honey has added ingredients – fake. ❋ All honey is different from every year, every hive, and every location.
❋ Bees make honey year round. ❋ Honey ranges from a very light, golden color to a darker rich brown color.
❋ Honey is most often collected by beekeepers in summer months.
❋ Beekeepers leave most of the late summer to early fall honey in the hives to protect the feeding of the bees throughout the winter.
❋ Buying straight for the beekeeper is the best way to ensure it is local and pure.
From Our Members... “The Heritage Beekeepers has been a wonderful addition to our community. Over time, it has developed into a family of people you can count on, turn to, and learn from. When you are surrounded with those of similar interests and dedication, you can’t help but to become part of something bigger than yourself. Keeping bees is calming and knowing that you are contributing to the successful pollination of our local habitat is very rewarding. Gaining a community family is a welcome bonus!” — Tonya A. Katzin

“I joined heritage beekeepers 2-1/2 years ago. I would recommend this club to any new or veteran beekeeper. The club is very involved with its members, the state, the community, and other clubs. I could go on and on. It is definitely an asset to any beekeeper. Love being involved.” — Dennis Ragosa

The Church Hill Senior Center
GARDEN A small patch of “green” paradise in Hawkins County
The Church Hill Senior Center Garden, a sanctioned project of the Northeast Tennessee Master Gardener Association (NETMGA), is in its tenth gardening season. Throughout the last decade, the garden has massively grown from its original 16 raised beds. After the first year, 10 more beds were added, and those were followed by 11 additional beds and an herb garden in 2012. Four more beds, a workbench, and a seating area were all added in 2017. To date, there are a total of 41 beds, an herb garden, and a berry berm that produces more than 4,000 pounds of produce annually. Participating members include master gardeners from NETMGA and Hawkins Co. Master Gardeners, along with local
gardening enthusiasts. Marcia Vandermause, Project Leader and Master Gardener, said that you do not have to be a master gardener to help out with the garden. “We encourage anyone who wants to learn more about raised bed gardening to come and help out,” she said. There have been as few as four members to as many as thirteen. Currently six to nine people participate in each work session. The pesticide-free garden is a habitat for beneficial insects, both predators and pollinators, along with a habitat for insecteating birds. Continued on page 46

Compost day with Volunteer High School FFA and gardeners (February 2018). From page 44
“Biodiversity is the key to optimal production,” Marcia said. “We enjoy being able to show the community how to grow food without the use of chemicals. We also grow ‘up’ not ‘out’ to maximize use of the space.” The project is actually a year-long process, with compost bins compiled throughout the year. Planning for the upcoming season begins in January, which is when members decide what to plant as they focus on vegetables, herbs, small fruits, native perennials, and pollinator attracting perennials. February gardening begins as Volunteer High School FFA students come to help out by adding the compost to the beds to prepare for planting in mid-March. Beginning in March and continuing throughout October, gardening is in full swing. During the growing season, members have dedicated workdays; in March, they work on Wednesday morning and then add Monday mornings as the season progresses. Members come together to get the jobs done with no specific assigned task. Volunteers donate their time to plant, cultivate, harvest, and give back to the community as well. Everything grown in the

People serving others, what a great group!” — John McMurray

garden is donated to various organizations, including the Senior Center lunch program and Of One Accord’s food pantry ministry. Marcia told the Rogersville Review that they like to have the harvest weighed and distributed by 10 a.m. to ensure that the food pantry can distribute on their schedule and make it available in time for the seniors at the center to enjoy fresh produce for their lunch. All produce is weighed in order to keep production records, and this also aids in fundraising by showing how much the garden produces for the community. Over the years, the gardeners have donated more than 28,600 pounds of produce. The ultimate goal of the group is to keep the garden flourishing to supply food to seniors and other members of the community. They also pride themselves with public education and interaction. The gardeners host community groups that mainly focus on children such as the Daisy Scouts and the Library’s Summer Reading Program. The group has activities, including educational opportunities for the children to engage in while visiting the garden. The group is also a sanctioned project for the TN Promise program where high school students can earn the volunteer hours needed to apply for a free two-year community college education. Last summer, two students earned their hours at the garden. The garden is located on property owned by the City of Church Hill beside of the police station on Main Street. This is a great location for passersby to ask questions to help with their own gardens. Feel free to stop by when members are present to take a tour and gain knowledge on pesticide-free gardening. If you are interested in becoming part of this outstanding group or wish to donate, send your contact information to chscgarden@yahoo.com or call the Senior Center at 423-357-5387. The group has been awarded the statewide Tennessee Master Gardeners’ Search for Excellence Award for Community Service.

Giving back to the community is a wonderful feeling. We never have enough help and are always thankful for volunteers.” — Louise Travaglini “Being a transplant to Tennessee from North Carolina, volunteering at the Church Hill community Garden was such a positive experience because it made me feel an attachment to the area. Of course doing good for the community was the reason to help with the garden, but I got so much back from the other volunteers. — Donna Marie Stewart

ooking for a beautiful setting for your wedding or event in Hawkins County? The Horse Farm Wedding and Event Venue in Church Hill just may be the perfect place for you! Located at 333 River Road, the farm has manicured pastures surrounded by trees and an awe-inspiring view of Bays Mountain. If you aren’t in the market for an outdoor event, a gorgeous horse barn is another option and is equipped to hold 100 people. The barn been decorated with more than 200 lights and chandeliers to set the mood for any event. It also has an air conditioned/heated hospitality suite and a full-sized bathroom. The venue is owned and operated by Angela Dotson, who had dreamed of turning her farm into an event venue for the past several years. Her husband, Jerry, had to give up riding his show horses, so he gave Angela the horse barn and farm to turn her dream into a reality. “I have always liked to entertain and have had an artistic flare for decorating,” she said. “I had the idea to turn a barn into a space for entertaining since I was a teenager. This really is a dream come true! I decided to name the venue The Horse Farm and Wedding Venue since it is still a working horse farm.” On June 9, 2018, some friends and members of her Sunday school class joined Angela to celebrate her new venture with a soft
opening and open house. This year, Angela plans to expand from offering space for graduations, reunions, birthday celebrations, weddings, receptions, and other events to planning her own events. She is planning to host an art exhibit and sale featuring local artists and potters. Other plans include: a paint-in, storytelling event, and open photo shoots for parents and children at Easter and Christmas. By appointment, the venue can also be utilized for engagement pictures, graduation pictures, prom pictures, and more. She also plans to offer two outdoor bathrooms, cover a large space off of the barn, and cover a 50’ round pin. Angela has met many talented people who have helped encourage her with her new venture. Florist Travis Christian, owner of The Potter’s Shed, has been involved, as has carpenter David Sawyer, and his helper, Gary. Eric Donahue, a local photographer, also arranged a photo shoot with Richard Siggins and the Eastman Photography Club. Beautiful models donated their time and charm posing for pictures in ‘mock wedding’ scenes. “Naturally, I couldn’t have done this without the help and encouragement of my husband, Jerry, not to mention all of my wonderful friends and neighbor Sharon Blanton,” Angela said. “I feel blessed in so many ways.” Angela returns her blessings by giving back to the community.

The
Potter’s Shed
A
Serving local folks to the families of former U.S. Presidents
t 612 West Main Street in Mount Carmel, sits a small, yellow building with red shutters. Built in 1950, it has served several purposes throughout its 69-year history: car dealership, garage, bait and tackle shop, realty office, and even a tattoo parlor! But step inside today and you will discover one of Hawkins County’s premier specialty shops. The Potter’s Shed Floral and Gift Shop opened its doors in 2014 and has been offering full-service, custom floral design, unique gifts, and handmade items ever since. The shop offers a wide variety of merchandise that is perfect for any occasion, such as extraordinary handmade cards, full-fragrant hand poured candles, specially crafted cabinets and clocks, and limited numbered, hand woven baskets from North Carolina.
The mastermind behind this operation is Church Hill native, Travis Christian, who began his artistic journey by working his way through college directing weddings. After graduating from ETSU in 1997 he worked with First Night Kingsport, taught public speaking at Northeast State College, then he joined the corporate world. Throughout the years, Travis’ creative mind kept wandering. He knew what he really wanted to do, did it, and never looked back. “A door opened and I went for it!” Travis says. The focus of the shop is floral design that Travis creates on a daily basis. The Potter’s Shed does not offer wire service which allows the shop free creative license to design unique, fresh floral arrangements. While funeral work accounts for a large portion of Continued on page 61

his work, he has built a strong wedding and event business. “Our wedding business has really exploded over the last few years,” he said. “We are traveling throughout the region to stage some very high-end ceremonies which is really exciting. We are already booking weddings well into 2020.” Over the last five years, The Potter’s Shed has undertaken some special commissions. “In 2015, we were invited to design and create a wreath that was placed at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery,” he said. “The wreath was delivered to Washington D.C. by a local JROTC troop and took its place of honor for the day. That was an awesome and humbling request and I am so proud of the work that emerged.” Late last fall another special order arrived when The Potter’s Shed was asked to create an arrangement on behalf of the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library. “President Johnson’s daughters Lynda Bird Johnson Robb and Luci Baines Johnson wanted a large floral arrangement for a local event and they chose our shop,” he said. “To say I was floored would be a vast understatement!” The piece that emerged from this order featured garden roses and calla lilies that mimicked the golden hue of Lady Bird Johnson’s 1965 Inaugural Ball gown. “You never know what the next phone call will bring or who might walk in the door,” says Travis. From the inspiration of his grandmother’s childhood, wooden-plank table to the support of his friends and family, Travis turned a dream into reality. His grandmother’s table now occupies a central place of pride in his shop and fills the atmosphere with charm, warmth, and love.
The Potter’s Shed features very natural designs and products. Travis likes to repurpose items in his floral arrangements, wreaths, and handmade products. You will find old watering cans, kitchen utensils, seed packets, angels and pillows made from old quilts, a teacup chandelier and much more used in his unique designs. Products and designs are displayed throughout the shop on antique pieces and beautifully crafted cabinets. One display feature is an antique display case from the old Rod Armstrong store that was located in Rogersville for many years. “My favorite display piece in the shop is a kitchen cupboard built from lumber rescued from my family’s home place,” he said. “It even features some of the original nails that were straightened and re-purposed.” One of Travis’ favorite times of the year is the Christmas season. He puts much thought, time and effort into decorating the shop and designing arrangements, wreaths, and gifts. The Potter’s Shed hosts an open house each year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving where patrons enjoy the sights and get into the Christmas spirit. Christmas mice, Santas, snowmen, ornaments, and all sorts of goodies are on offer to brighten your holiday season. Travis contributes his success to God, family, friends, and the members of the community. He gives back to his community by donating to fundraisers, helping local schools, churches, festivals, and many more community functions. Stop in and visit Travis at The Potter’s Shed located at 612 West Main Street in Mt. Carmel, Tennessee. The shop is open Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can order via phone at 423-256-3308 and after hours at 423-782-6466.

64 Discover Hawkins County • 2019 Denver Price and his 1939 Chevy, the current version.
The Long Road ‘39 Chevy has been in Denver Price’s possession since 1970
The black 1939 Chevy is a fixture at local car shows and cruiseins. It is a beautiful car and rightfully commands the attention it receives. As with anything that stands the test of time, the story of the car and its owner is as intriguing as the car itself. In 1970, Rudolph Price bought the car for his 14-year old son, Denver. Denver has owned the car ever since. Denver said that the owner of the car, Ray Templeton, passed away and his dad bought it from his widow, Betty for $225, in February of 1970. Ray Templeton worked for Home Service Center and he and Dave Bradley, the other service technician, would use the car for house calls repairing appliances around the Rogersville area. Denver says there were some tools still in the trunk of the car when he obtained it. By the time Denver turned 16 in 1972, his dad had the car painted by Esco Seals and the interior restored by Jim Newman at Peavler’s Upholstery. The paint job cost $100 and the interior cost $110. These were the first of many changes that the car has seen since it came into Denver’s procession. Denver remembers that after graduating high school in 1974, he wanted to add V8 power to the ’39, and Billy Joe and Jim Thomas helped make that happen. This version of the car lasted
for a while, until in 1983 Mustang II steering was installed and a narrowed 9-inch Ford rear end were installed with the help of Bob Edens, Jim Thomas and Terry Morgan. In 2016 the car was completely rebuilt by Bill Legg. The ground-up restoration included a new motor, transmission, body work, glass and bumpers. Through all the changes, the car has always black paint. During his lifetime Denver has owned “seven or eight” classic cars and hotrods, including a beautiful 1957 Chevy station wagon he acquired a few years ago. With all the changes that life brings, Denver says he has never considered selling the ’39. Denver and his wife Shirley live in the house where he grew up in the Rock Hill community near Rogersville. He also enjoys antiques. He retired from TRW after 30 years of service. If you attend a cruise-in or car show in our area, look for the black 1939 Chevy. Denver patiently will answer any questions about the car. Well into its fifth decade, the story that Denver and his dad started continues.
