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:
