/ Tom / Leave a comment

We had the pleasure of hosting two stars in our home overnight back in Brambleton, VA.

Above is renowned international musician Radoslav Lorkovie.

He has traveled the world with his music and played before huge crowds.

Movie star Ronny Cox – shown here in his role in Deliverance in the dueling banjo-guitar scene.

Rad and Ronny posing before they left in our driveway with Sherry!

The event was sponsored by our church in Sterling, VA.

They stayed at our house overnight and regaled us for a couple of hours in the kitchen about their careers!

Sherry talking to Ronny and Rad at the kitchen counter.

The stories they told – the people they met and the stages they played all over the world.

The cast of Deliverance, the movie.

Left to right-

Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty, Burt Reynolds, and Jon Voight.

Ronny told us that he and Ned remained close friends for life.

This movie started his career, which included over 150 movie and TV appearances over the years.

Papa, Ronny, Sherry, and Rad.

Rad has performed on stage all over the world with his piano, organ, and accordion.

Miracles do happen –

We never dreamed this.

Papa’s World – As time goes by- Memories!

When all the grandkids were younger –

We all went to the county fair.

We are as Sherry’s shirt says- “BLESSED”!

And a time to come-

Ella’s Shirt – SKIP A STRAW – SAVE A TURTLE!

Gone by times are memories!

Walking the streets of Washington, D.C. with our friends from AZ.

Sherry, Jo, and Paul.

Who came for a visit several years ago.

We toured all of D.C. for three days and took the Metro.

A first for them and one of many for us!

Gone by times are memories.

We had the honor of hosting Ronny Cox – movie star and TV actor –

His first role was in Deliverance, and he became a star.

He came to ur church through a program, and we gave him a place to stay overnight.

We sat around our breakfast table for a few hours, and he regaled us with his life in Hollywood and other stars.

He was also accompanied by Radoslav Lorkovic –

An accomplished musician in his own right on the accordion and piano –

World-renowned from Croatia.

Here is Radoslav and Ronny Cox packing up to leave with Sherry in our driveway.

It was a fun 24 hours, and both were exceptional in gratitude for our hosting them.

Rad travels the world playing his music!

Gone by times are memories!

North Main Street in Eldred, Pa., where I was raised and lived for 30 years.

The cluster of buildings on the lower left –

Are the Eldred- WWII museum.

A bucket list to see!

Many tour buses from all over stop and explore the history contained inside its walls.

And yes, that is a real Tank bursting through the wall!

The red building, lower right, was the fire hall as I was growing up.

The building to the upper right-

Was the Masonic Temple- a dentist’s and a doctor’s office as I was growing up.

It was there I went, where I broke both my arm and finger at separate times.

All my early dental work was performed there.

If you see the car in the main street, upper left-

The home I was raised in –

Is just beyond the big white house-

And now my great niece lives there.

That makes for 82 years of family living there.

Gone by times are memories!
