"I remember attending Singing On The Mountain when Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash performed on the "rock" and when Bob Hope dropped by to pass a few jokes and make us laugh. I remember the laughs and lifetime friends we made. That must have been about 35 years ago. What a great time my parents and I had. " Cecil Swannanoa, NC |
