I apologize for the two weeks that I didn’t get my column in but I'm sure all of you understand the need to get away from it all sometimes. Even writing a story can be a chore when it’s combined with writing term papers, taking mid-term exams and preparing a “55 percent of your grade” class presentation. I know you're feeling sorry for me by now, right? Anyway, it was great get- ting back to North Carolina and away from the pressures of city life here in Nashville. The very words ‘“‘spring break” stir the imagination and get the blood pressure up. Thoughts of bikini-clad young women soaking up the rays in Florida is one picture that comes to my mind. In past spring breaks I have had the privilege of sunning in Florida and skiing in New Mexico but this spring I wanted to be different and just enjoy being at home. So, off to Kings Mountain we headed. Theresa and I arrived in town expecting a few days of rest and relaxation but instead spent four days rushing around trying to see friends and relatives and to do a little sight- seeing. She had never been to the Piedmont area of North Caroina so it was interesting for her to see new places. One of the best (and scariest) parts of the trip was introduc- ing her to all of my relatives. It totally amazed her that most of my family lives within 20 miles of each other (except Dale and Lisa who we visited on the way to KM). Her immediate family is the only part of her family that lives in Tennessee with other relatives spread out between New Jersey and Mississippi, so it was a different experience for her to see such a tight-knit group of people. Another interesting side trip was when Dad gave us the grand tour of the KMG Minerals plant. He showed us the en- tire process of mineral mining and how bricks are made. I was very proud of him as he explained how he had spent so many yeas of his life there helping build that company into what it is today. I was glad that Theresa enjoyed the tour and I was even more glad that Dad took the time to show us around. My Dad, what a great guy! As much as Theresa liked my friends and relatives it was the “fine dining tour” that she liked best. We hit all the hot spots including lunch at Garndpa’s Store, Sunday lunch at Fred's, a special dinner at Kelly’s, and an excursion to the Open Kitchen in enous. She said she never saw people eat id.
