Greer Oldies deliver a night full of laughable memories
JAN 20, 2013
The Greer Oldies know how to tell a story.
A handful of Greer High School alumni from the mill days forward entertained a packed Stomping Grounds Saturday night with stories that touched the hearts and minds of those in attendance.
Tears of joy were plentiful. Ribs hurt from sustained laughing. Hands held heads that ached from memories that at their past may not have been so humorous at the time.
It was three hours of breathless, non-stop comedic storytelling.
Buddy Bowman and Eddie Harvey, who have authored stories of past adventures in Greer, were joined by Gundy Stewart, Steve Campbell and Don Brown as the core storytellers. Audience participation was frequent with some challenging the factual authenticity of a story or wanting to refute portions of their involvement.
Harvey remembered, “Everybody wanted to live on the mill hill, that’s where the action was.” The evening was virtually a roll call of what mill village they lived.
The woman moaned when the basketball uniforms of their era was brought up. The men enjoyed talk of their cars taking on parts that established them as hotrods.
Gone but not forgotten were fond memories of:

Ebetino's public debut has big turnout
JAN 11, 2013
The Greer arts community toasted Tom Ebetino this evening on his first photography show of his career.
Ebetino, full-time businessman (Salon 906) and time-permitting photographer, showcased his art on the Wall Gallery at Greer City Hall.
“I thought it (viewing) was something I should do,” said Ebetino, as guests mingled perusing his gallery and prints, sipping wine and nibbling hors d’oeuvres as Kay Young’s students played piano music.
Ebetino said his photography represents what he considers the beauty of the moment. “Reflections” is such a photo. “I was walking to the fountains around seven o’clock one evening to shoot it when I saw they were turned off.” The reflections of City Hall were caught in the still water.
Ebetino’s inspiration comes from a myriad of visions. “There is a lot I like for different reasons. I love all things of nature, old buildings, landscapes and flowers,” he said.
Photography is squeezed into what is left of Ebetino’s day running his salon. “I have to wait for just the right moment with the photography. I do a lot of walking around town and I get ideas there.”
A variety of Ebetino’s work shows the diversity of his subjects. “Popcorn Profusion” depicts a burst of blooming flowers, “Ariel’s Trip” is a photo of three hot air balloons descending at sunset, “Grandpa’s Garden Shed” is set back under the cover of a forest of trees and leaves and “Mustang, Hard Top Coupe” is a photo of Bill Schabot standing proudly next to vintage car.
Ebetino’s framed works had prices ranging $200 to $50.
The evening turned out to be memorable for Ebetino. “I love it. It captures that moment in time.”
FACES IN THE CROWD: Margaret Burch came after a Greater Greer Education Board meeting. Walter Burch, Susan Burch (Prudential, C. Dan Joyner), Patti Cornelius (Greer Chamber of Commerce), Diane Kuhl (health consultant and winner of $10,000 last year with her photo of her dog in a bed of yellow tulips beat 65,000 entries in a photo contest) , Robin Byouk (Greer Cultural Arts), Flavio Varani (from Sao Paulo and music teacher), Sophie, 10, Violet, 8, and their mother Anna Marie Wall (children are budding artists and they are neighbors of Ebetino), Corporal Joe Phillips (Greer Police Department was security) and Laurenda's catered the event.
