Knifleyan recalls New Year 1947 dynamiting of pool hall stove It happened of a New Year's, Old Timer recalls, from Spain Knifley Fire Department will have New Year's Dance Richard Hovious writes: Ed: Careful! On my last New Years eve in Knifley (1947), my uncle Jodie threw half a stick of dynamite in the pool hall stove (it exploded), I got bombed for the first time (age 13) and Chester Garner disappeared! (He returned) Prologue to the book on Facebook. - RICHARD HOVIOUSRichard Hovious: Does this cryptic message mean you are writing a book? That Knifley will be famous for yet another author. Hope so. One note to readers: Knifley is a changed place. We haven't heard of any authentic outlaws up there this century. It's a downright gentrified place now, where lots of wealthy retirees cogitate high o'er its beautiful downtown, the church houses are packed on Sundays, and the men folk no longer hold "prayer meetings" on sabbath afternoons on the creekbank. One's more likely to see business people in three piece suits there than in law offices of Columbia, The time is long past since people there got drunk on alcohol laden lemon extract. Times have changed. -ED This story was posted on 2011-12-29 07:01:38
