Dolly, you said it!

Dolly, you are fantastic; you have described the perfect way to live out your life.

People everywhere are suffering from economic, social, and medical issues; yet, they, like you, find ways to help others. I’d like to be more like you, for sure.

I happen to live about 25 miles from where Dolly was born and raised; she is genuinely our local, living heroine. She’s a part of the fabric of Eastern Tennessee, starting her career on a local radio show, to global fame and recognition for doing the right thing.

Long before her super-stardom, a local Knoxville grocer named Cas Walker sponsored a radio show; in 1956, at the age of 10, Dolly began her remarkable career in singing and songwriting.

She’ll surely never, ever, rust out.
