E13 End of Fall: Greasy Hollow Memories
I spent a beautiful fall afternoon with Ralph Robertson exploring Powell Valley in this episode of “Greasy Hollow Memories”. At 95 years old, Ralph Robertson has out lived most of his friends. Recently, his best friend and neighbor, Keith Shorty Berry past away. We go to visit Shorty's son Scott while he is cleaning out Shorty’s sheds. Scott grew up in Greasy Hollow and has been going to the Robertsons store since he was a kid. Scott shares some of his Greasy Hollow Memories with us as we sit and visit in the backyard.Exploring Nostalgic Memories in Greasy Hollow: Reminiscing about Rural Virginia, Past Farm Experiences, and Cherished Friendships
