C.J. Browne

Other than Alex Coffin, no other friend was as supportive of my athletic endeavors as CJ. I always loved it when he used his favorite nickname for me of "Pro."  Even without that, he was a good guy . . .don

C.J. and I were friends and for a while somewhat close. Of course I remember the football but a couple of other things. His dad was a constable and participated on still raids. Whenever they found a ‘good’ still his dad would keep a couple of half gallons for himself and to give away which he stashed in a closet under the stairs. Once when C J and I were going to W C ( Women’s College) in Greensboro to participate in an all state chorus for a couple of days we went into this closet and poured a little off several jars which we took with us. Just a wonderful memory of the fun of our youth. God Bless, Gus

Merry Christmas

This rendition of White Christmas was recorded by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters in 1953.  It was #2 on the charts in 1954.  Animation is by Joshua Held in 2002.


White Christmas was written by Irving Berlin for the Movie "Holiday Inn" and recorded by Bing Crosby in 1942, and received the Academy Award in that year.  Crosby recorded it again in 1947, and that recording has become the standard.  It was also featured in the 1954 movie White Christmas with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera-Ellen.


White Christmas is the biggest selling Christmas song of all time.

Dot Wilkes' sister, Carolyn "Sue" Cox of Asheboro died Wednesday at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Visitation is Saturday from 6 - 8 p.m. at Ridge Funeral Home. Funeral is Sunday at 2 p.m. at Rushwood Park Wesleyan Church.
