Pilot Mountain man marks 100th birthday

Nov. 1 was a big day for Spencer “Pa” Nelson. One of many days the centenarian has experienced. That’s because many friends and family members gathered that day to celebrate his 100th birthday. He was born on Nov. 1, 1926, in Pilot Mountain, to Peter and Daisy Nelson. In late December 1943, he enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served as a gunner’s mate until September 1948. After leaving the Navy, Nelson returned home to Pilot Mountain, where he met the love of his life, Helen Bateman. The two were married on April 28, 1949, beginning a marriage that would last just shy of 69 years. In 1950, Spencer began working for McLean Trucking Company. He remained with the company for more than 35 years, until it closed in January 1986. The couple became members of Brims Grove Baptist Church in 1969. His faith and church family have remained an important part of his life, and he continues to be a faithful member today, family members said. “Celebrating 100 years of Spencer’s life was a special occasion for his family and friends,” they said. “The Nelson family would like to thank everyone who joined them in celebrating this

Stadium seats from historic ballparks popular items for niche collectors, but buyer beware

Over the years I’ve written quite a few articles on classic ballparks and the numerous fixtures they left behind, such as seats, signs and turnstiles. These pieces, which were either sold directly to the public, temporarily relocated to other venues, or simply thrown out, now highlight the man caves of many collectors. They are the epitome of owning a piece of history, as they were used by countless fans and bore witness to great moments in American sports and entertainment.

Enjoying the splendor of November

November always arrives with a certain amount of calmness highlighted by the falling of leaves from mighty oaks carpeting the forest floor and lawns. The Carolina blue sky with marshmallow cumulus clouds seems bluer in November. The tints of greenery from cedars, pines, holly and honeysuckle vines and visible clumps of mistletoe hanging on limbs of hickories and oaks remind us that the season of Christmas is not that for away. The days are not only getting shorter by one minute each day and with the loss of Daylight Savings Time an hour of evening daylight disappears. The first hard freezes of the season will soon be upon us and there will be a plenty of ice in the mudholes each morning. November has its share of splendor in the frosty mornings and crisp, fresh air and even a freshly-brewed cup of black sweet coffee is more refreshing on November mornings. There is an unforgettable aroma about the November calm and the smell of dry autumn leaves and the crisp sound of oak leaves as they fall to the ground and the pink, purple, orange and reds of the sunsets. Celebrating The Season Of All Saints Rest We celebrated All

Plans for Christmas parade unfold

The annual Mount Airy Christmas Parade on Nov. 21 will feature the usual holiday floats, marching groups and sparkling lights, but also the added attractions of Jeff and Sheri Easter and a first-ever “sensory-friendly area.” The Easters, who lead a popular Southern gospel group and have ties to the legendary Easter Brothers locally, will serve as grand marshals for the parade scheduled for 5 p.m. that day through the downtown area. Meanwhile, a special area will be designated along the procession route to accommodate onlookers who are sensitive to loud noises. “Because we’ve had a few complaints about the sirens and everything,” Gail Hiatt of the sponsoring Downtown Business Association said of the sounds emanating from public safety vehicles in the parade along with horns and other loud noises. “We’ve never done this before,” Hiatt added regarding the quiet zone. Applications available The Christmas parade typically includes elaborate floats by local businesses, high school marching bands, fire trucks, unique vehicles, festive costumed characters, community organizations, sports teams, churches, local elected officials and others. And, of course, more than a few pieces of candy and other goodies will be tossed out by those riding in the parade. It is considered the
