From: <[email protected]> if I could get their address or better if they had an email.. I could contact them. Hi Gale, Well, you are in luck!! They have a website & if you click on "Contact" at bottom of page, it will give you an email address!!! http://www.moonpie.com/home.asp There are different versions of cakes with marshmallow filling, but none taste like The Original Moonpie!!!! I guess my favorite is the Banana one. Ummm...haven't bought any in a long time. Think I'll add them to grocery list this week. <Grin> Bobbie

From: <[email protected]> He also sold some sort of salve that was supposed to cure everything from Lumbago to the common cold. LOL And I bet he made millions off that stuff!!! For those interested, you can read a few tales about Cas in a column that Sam Venable wrote after Cas' death. Very interesting & describes him perfectly! http://www.knoxnews.com/news/venable/sv09291998.shtml LOL Bobbie

Hey Chip Are you really a part of the Union-Claiborne County Walkers? That means you & I are kin. And Cas - now I know my Uncle Don out at Halls Crossroads would be tickled to learn that ol' Cas is hanging on the family tree. We need the details. Nancy Cassada Nelson

From: j.d.white <[email protected]> (Pick up the morning paper when it hits the streets, Cas walkers prices just can't be beat. Get that Blue band coffee and you'll want some more. Do your grocery shoppin at the Cas Walker stores. Yes, that was it, J.D. Funny how certain tunes stay with you through the years. Bobbie

Hey folks, After all, this is a genealogy list and I remember Cas and I also remember that some in my family said he was distantly related. Does anyone know anything about his family? Was he home grown or an import? Gail

Hi Bobbie, Thanks for the offer but if I could get their address or better if they had an email.. I could contact them. My hubby is from Missouri and I asked him did he ever have a moon pie.. yep he did. Course he doesn't like marshmellow.. If its sweet I'd like it. I've had RC if I can get Pepsi (my choice of drink) then I will take an RC. You all are just so great and so much fun. I keep looking for a name to come across the mail that could be one of mine.. *L* If you have any loose PRINCE's, FOUTCH's, WILSON's, or LEA's that you dont want I be looking for them.. Dang WILSON's were in Overton County and no one seems to know one dang thing about them there. And I could really use a GULLIC. Hugs to all of you for making my day.

Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Union/798 Surname: Newell, Medlin, Medland ------------------------- I am just beginning a search of my grandfather's family. My great-grandfather was John Newell and great-grandmother was Allis Medlin (Medland sp?).I know my grandfather had a cousin named Della Newell of Lake/Union or Gibson County, TN. I believe her father's name was Ervin. I'm looking for information on Della's father's side. As I said, I am just beginning and unfortunately don't have much information to offer but would appreciate anything you can give me to start on.

Hi Gale, Do any of your Wilsons have any of the following first names: Marton who married Dicy Nash Nettie Lizzie (Nancy Elizabeth) Chester (Benjamin Chester) Isaac Ruth Betz

Cas was a millionaire but continued to live in a very small house not too far from us in North Knoxville. My family knew one of the cameramen and he told us this story. They would tell Cas some terrible off-color joke right before he would go on the air. He didn't usually understand it and would get on the air and repeat it. I remember several times hearing the gasps as he would repeat the punch line.

I have a good one on Cass Walker. While on vacation, staying with an Aunt, Cass hired some of us young folks to fold fliers for his store. Our pay? A watermelon. Well, Cass always got a bang for his buck and we worked an awfully long time for that watermelon. When we finished he took us out to the new load of watermelon that had arrived that day. "Pick any one you want kids". The other children all picked out, and happily left with their prize. "And you girl?" What melon do you want. I walked up to the truck, peaked through the slats and picked out one on the very bottom of the load. "You said any one we wanted Mr. Walker and I want that one. You promised." He huffed and puffed and had the truck unloaded and never again invited me back to fold fliers. The watermelon? I made sure it was plugged before I left so I knew it was going to taste good. Bette

From: <[email protected]> I remember him....50 yrs ago he had his own radio program. I used to listen to him. Anyone who lived within a signal of Knoxville, TN always heard old Cas! He also had a TV show, Milly. He came on every morning around 6 AM. I believe it was called The Farm & Home Hour. I grew up watching it while I waited for the school bus to run! LOL I remember seeing Dolly Partin on there when she was really young. That's where she got her start. Like Chip said, Cas was an odd one! LOL He had his own opinions & he made sure everyone heard them! He even published a paper. Wasn't it called The Watchdog???? Anyone remember the jingle that they played every morning??? Bobbie :o)

It has been at least 35-40 years since I was at Bobbie Beeler's store. I Stopped there with my step father Claude Walker. The reason for our visit? Moon Pies and R.C. Cola. The "Baloney" Sandwiches were made with "Bulldog Baloney" per Bobbie. Cut as thick as you wanted. Great Cass Walker memories too. Cold Watermelon! Just don't taste the same here in Michigan.

Sounds good to me....... Ballard Hines or Hynes Thanks Larry

I wouldn't vote for anyone who "didn't" have some skeletons. Borrrrrriinngggg! Lar
