and the business manager, Stanley
North, were week-end guests at
Mimosa Inn where Jane Dalton of
WSPA interviewed Mr. Templeton
over a recording machine for broad
casting this week oH'Tier programs.
Mr. Templeton {^one^of the most
fascinating men wno has ever
visited Tryon, and he and Mrs.
Templeton are thrilled over their
plans for their new home to be
built on Piney Ridge adjoining
the Henry Hart place. In the inter
view with Jane Dalton he said their
home in Connecticut is now filled
with things marked for their Tryon
home that they hardly have enough
room left to live in, and that they
would have to build soon. They
visited their mountain top property
while here.
When asked how they happened
to come to Tryon, Mr. North said
he was a fraternity brother of
Wm. C. Cotant of Tryon, and last
May when they were in Hickory
they decided to come to Tryon to
visit him and Mrs. Mary Webb
Goble, another Chicago friend, who
has built here. When they arrived
at Mimosa Inn they became, so
charmed with the. place that they
had to buy some real estate immer
diately.
The Templetons are enroute from
Bristol. Tenn., to Birmingham,
Ala., for a concert.
They always spend Christmas
at their home in Greenwich, Conn.,
where they have open house to the
high school seniors and alumni
which grows larger each year. The
Christmas carols are sung and lots
of fun and fellowship are enioved.
Mr. Templeton loves people and
all forms of good music; he likes
good food, especially .hot mince
meat pie, boiled apple suet pud
ding and pheasant. Among his fav
orite composers are Rachmaninoff,
Bach and Brahms and Bing Cros
by is one of his favorite radio
entertainers.'"
The pianist collects phonograph
records and old clocks, especially
grandfather clocks. His favorite
clock not only strikes the half hour
period but tells what half hour.
About four years ago he learned
to play the Scotch bagpipes when
he received them as a gift.
When asked about teaching music
to young children who had no tal
ent and desire to learn, he replied
that children should be taught to
love music and enjoy it and not
have it forced on them as medicine.
He said only a few could be pro
fessionals and music should be
taught for the person’s enjoyment.
Persian cats and canaries and
a dog were listed among his pets
and in concluding his broadcast
he gave the Lord’s Prayer in Welsh
and sent greetings to all people
of Welsh descent. Mr. Templftfmj
was born at Cardiff Wales on 4
4, 1910, and has been in America
since 1935.
