If you watched the Bob Hope Golf Desert Classic two weeks ago on Golf Channel, that caddie with pro David Duval was Ooltewah’s own Mitch Knox. Mr. Knox toted Mr. Duval’s bag several years ago and was on the golfer’s bag when he won the British Open.
Sharleen Rhinock of Ooltewah notified me that Brian White, the founder of Owl Towne Writers Group, passed away Jan. 25. Mr. White and his group met twice a month and he helped writers get published.
Also, my friend Joe Ford passed away last week. He was a great, great guy and just a joy to be around. His sense of humor was great. Our sympathies go out to his wife Sara and children.
Ooltewah was just a little sadder place with the passing of these two.
